Safety and Quality
Vykon is committed to the safety and quality of our products. We pride ourselves on producing the highest quality products. Our products are manufactured in a Health Canada licensed facility in Ottawa, Ontario.
The facility is GMP compliant, has strict quality assurance protocols, and uses third party testing* to validate identity and purity of the ingredients used.
The FDA sets limits on heavy metals in food to protect people’s health. Heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury can be found naturally in the environment and can contaminate food through soil, water and air pollution. These limits, called action levels, are based on scientific data and aim to minimize health risks. For instance, candy must not exceed 0.1 ppm of lead, while apple juice should not contain more than 0.01 ppm of arsenic. If a food product exceeds these limits, it may be recalled or face enforcement action.
