Hello,

I am an Hijiki seaweed importer. Recently, Canadian Food Inspection Agency
found great amount of Inorganic Arsenic from Hijiki seaweed. They, together
with Health Canada warned Canadian consumption of even eating a small amount of
Hijiki is harmful.

Here is the link to CFIA's warning.

Does anyone know about US FDA's position on this specific warning from Canada
and any related regulation? I am also looking for how to get my product tested
for the contents of Inorganic Arsenic. My business is in Atlanta, GA.

Regards,

Esther
