SEACURE contains the following ingredients:
Seaweed
Water
Potassium carbonate (99100% pure)
The extraction process consists of grinding seaweed, mixing and heating ingredients together. After the cooking phase, the extract is screened, filtered, and bottled. This method has been termed alkaline hydrolysis since (at least) the 1950's, and Living Acres believes this process to be included in the NOP Rule in §205.601(j)(1), under the clause (other than hydrolyzed). As of October, 2002, we have requested clarification from USDANOP.
SEAPLUS contains the following ingredients:
Fish emulsion (partially dewatered liquefied fish waste)
Phosphoric acid (stabilizing agent)
Seaweed
Water
Potassium hydroxide (seaweed extracting agent)
The seaweed is extracted in accordance with the NOP Rule §205.601(j)(1), then blended with fish emulsion (solubles), and stabilized at a pH > 3.5 in accordance with the NOP Rule §205.601(j)(7).
