These brands want to go the extra mile...and incur the additional expense...in order to make sure their products are containment free. Unfortunately, this additional care and attention is often unseen by the consumer. Therefore, we created the program, and a corresponding logo on the package, to help consumers quickly identify product(s) that have undergone rigorous testing and help them find products and brands they can trust.
