industrial standards
At Cura x Cura, we are honored to offer certified organic raw herbs and granules on our platform. 79 herbs out of 672 herbs are certified organic and used in our compounding lab. For our organic herbs, our vendor uses the testing method provided by certifying agency, CCOF, which screens for 173 of the most common and prohibited pesticides. We take pride in being able to trace the source of these herbs, from the land and farm to the grower, ensuring transparency and the highest quality in every batch.
Vendors at Cura x Cura are all FDA registered, fully compliant with FDA protocols, and follow strict labeling requirements. They are regularly audited by the FDA to ensure adherence to these standards. Approximately 90% of our raw herbs pass the FDA import test, which screens for over 400 pesticide residues.
All of our vendors are required to hold GMP certifications. This certification covers various aspects, including controlled manufacturing environments, product purity, cleanliness, accurate documentation, and proper testing protocols. It minimizes risks such as contamination and ingredient errors and ensures the final products meet their stated quality and composition
At Cura x Cura, all vendors are required to provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for individual product, ensuring transparency and quality. A COA verifies the product's identity, potency, and purity by detailing its chemical composition and confirming it meets safety standards. This guarantees that the products are consistent and free from harmful substances, aligning with our commitment to high-quality herbal solutions.
GAP certification verifies that our vendor manages inputs like water, soil, and pesticides responsibly to reduce contamination risks. It also ensures proper handling during harvesting, packing, and storage to maintain product safety and quality. Additionally, the certification includes worker health and safety training to ensure ethical practices throughout the production process.
Rigorous
testing
We only accept a ND (none detected) result for pesticide tests. Our vendor ensures the quality of their sulfur-free herbs through in-house vapor testing (with a limit of 1.0 ppm) or lab titration for sulfites (ND only). In addition to pesticide and sulfur testing, the herbs undergo thorough Species Identification and Contaminant Screening. Aflatoxin-susceptible herbs, such as seeds, grains, and Yan Hu Suo, are carefully tested for aflatoxins to ensure safety and purity.
Our vendors ensure that all of their herbal products meet or exceed the established safety levels for heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. They adhere to rigorous testing protocols to guarantee the purity and safety of every product, giving us confidence that our offerings maintain the highest quality standards.
