SAPPHO's commitment to quality and safety shines through in our rigorous testing procedures. While we're unable to test every single lot at this time due to cost constraints, we've conducted thorough testing on select lots with reassuring results.
We maintain consistency by sourcing ingredients from trusted suppliers for every batch and if and when we have to change suppliers we will take care to follow through with testing. As our resources allow, we'll continue to prioritize testing for all stages of production, to ensure the highest standards.
