Quality Assurance: Mayway has been importing and distributing traditional Chinese medicine for over thirty years. Our commitment to the issues of quality, and providing high quality products, have become the top priorities at Mayway. We recognize that through controlling the quality of our products we are able to promote better health, in the consumers of our products, in the businesses of our customers, and in our industry as a whole.
California's Proposition 65 Information:
Note: All herbal products that are grown outside of the United States are required to list California's Proposition 65 Information on their packaging. Herbal products that are grown within the United States regardless of their quality standards, are not required to list California's Proposition 65 Information on their packaging.
Mayway will continue to do the following for all products intended for sale in California:
• We will provide the Proposition 65 warning on all products that do not have test data confirming that all heavy metals are below Proposition 65 'no significant risk' and 'no observable effect' levels.
• We will continue to reject batches of Plum Flower® and Min Shan® Brand products if heavy metals exceed Company standards (outlined below) regardless of warnings.
• We will endeavor to look for new sources and new technologies in an effort to further reduce or eliminate the presence of heavy metals in our products.
Our Quality Control Standards
Each and every batch of Plum Flower® and Min Shan® Brand pills is tested for heavy metals. As there are presently no State or Federal heavy metal guidelines for traditional Chinese medicines, we researched our own. We were guided to the U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP) to determine safe heavy metal levels for our products. USP levels are lead 10 ppm*, cadmium 3 ppm, arsenic 3 ppm, and mercury 3 ppm. However, as the factories we work with have GMP certification granted by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (Australia's FDA equivalent), we also looked at their heavy metal guidelines. We found their levels to be even lower for lead at 5 ppm, and adopted the Australian standard as our own. Each batch of Plum Flower® and Min Shan® Brand pills is tested to these standards both at the factory and at third party labs for extra quality assurance.
Our ongoing commitment to improve quality control
We work to continually improve the quality of our products. We have always done microbial, sulfur and general heavy metals testing on our Plum Flower® Brand un-sulfured bulk herbs. In addition, since January of 2001, we have also been testing our bulk herbs specifically for lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium. We have also been testing and setting limits for DDT and benzene hexachloride, two very toxic and banned pesticides. Our most recent achievement (July, 2001) of source improvements have allowed us to further lower our heavy metal limits for Plum Flower® and Min Shan® Brand formulas to 3 ppm for lead, 2 ppm for arsenic, 0.5 ppm for mercury, and 1 ppm for cadmium. We continue to gather data on soil pollution where herbs are grown allowing us to make ever more informed choices regarding herb sourcing as we strive for cleaner, more pure herbs and herbal products.
