Favorited Not Favorited

When we tested flaxseed products, we found high levels of cadmium in several popular brands and learned that many companies were not testing for cadmium. At least one company now seems to be testing for cadmium, as we note in an Update to our Flaxseed (Whole and Ground) Review, which includes our Top Picks among flaxseed products.
