Following information from the FSA we have checked with our suppliers that the Green Clay we use is safe for internal and external use. It is of a very high quality. If you do not purchase your green clay from The Wild Health Shop we would strongly advise you to check with your supplier, as some companies are selling a product that is potentially harmful, please see below:
"The Food Standards Agency is reminding consumers, especially pregnant women, about the dangers of ingesting clay, clay-based ‘detox’ drinks and supplements. The advice is being reissued after high levels of lead and arsenic were discovered in products being distributed by online retailers, despite the FSA warning of the potential health dangers only last year.
The FSA is advising people not to purchase or consume the following products:
Bentonite Clay, sold by buywholefoodsonline.co.uk
Bentonite Clay, sold by nealsyardremedies.com
Calcium Bentonite Clay, sold by natures-harvest.co.uk
French Green Montmorillonite Clay sold by naturalrussia.com
Premium Calcium Montmorillonite Clay, sold by synergy-health.co.uk
Edible Earth digestive detoxicant and ionic mineral supplement, sold by detoxpeople.eu and wholesalehealthltd.co.uk
This is not a definitive list of products or retailers. The Agency is working with online retailers to ensure that these products are either removed or marked as not safe for human consumption."
