Over the limit — 92×US EPA drinking-water MCL, 40 CFR 141.61(c) — 0.006 mg/L. Applied to all foods as the TIGHTEST published DEHP number; the EU food-contact limit is looser (Reg. (EU) 10/2011 as amended by 2023/1442: SML 0.6 mg/kg, plus the 0.6 mg/kg DEHP-equivalent group limit with DBP/BBP/DIBP).

Common questions

Is AG1 Greens Powder Supplement healthy?

AG1 Greens Powder Supplement scores 0/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, AG1 Greens Powder. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in AG1 Greens Powder Supplement?

AG1 Greens Powder Supplement lists 71 ingredients, starting with Vitamin a, Vitamin c, Vitamin e, Thiamine and Riboflavin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

No. Nothing in AG1 Greens Powder Supplement’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is AG1 Greens Powder Supplement?
