Our " Pure Emu Oil " is
certified !!! |
|
|
|
|
|
In
1989 the American Emu Association, our
National mother- organization was formed. |
|
|
In
short order The AEA and USDA established the
groundwork for Emu processing and research on emu
oil was started in laboratories and
universities |
|
|
In
1998 The AEA with help of the American Oil Chemists
Society established the Trade Rules for Emu
Oil |
|
|
. |
|
|
The
AEA
Certification Program got under way |
|
|
.
|
|
|
It
is a voluntary certification program established by
leaders in the emu industry, including all currently
active oil processors, based on verification by an independent
AOCS qualified chemist that batches of oil produced
for consumer use meets or exceeds the trade rules
and standards recognized in the oil industry as
necessary to assure consumer safety. |
|
|
. |
|
|
An
emblem was created that should be on every bottle of
Pure Emu Oil to indicate to the consumer that this
oil is fully refined, analyzed and is safe to
use.
|
|
|
.

|
|
Make sure your emu oil meets AEA Emu Oil Trade Rules for
fully refined emu oil and that it carries the AEA Certified Seal.
Make
sure that the seal is displayed on the label.
The AEA Certification insures a safe product by
being properly processed. The Certification gives a confidence that
moisture and oxidation (rancidity components) properties are reduced to a
permissible or better level at
the time of processing. Moisture has to be below 0.05% and
peroxide less than 2 (oxidation properties) and free fatty acids equal to or less
than 0.1%.
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
The
'Fully Refined' designation or specification for pure emu oil is primarily
for the safety of the consumer. If moisture is above the 0.10%
level, bacteria will have a tendency to grow. By reducing the peroxide and
free fatty acids, other contamination components will be removed, for
example; hormones, toxic metals, pesticides, viruses and infections (e-coli, salmonella for example that may
or may not have contaminated the raw
material at the processing plant).

The emu is a very
hearty animal that appears to be immune to most diseases that affect other
livestock in America. The typical American farmer does not normally use
any antibiotics on their farm raised emus as it is unnecessary and there
hasn’t been sufficient research performed to identify the responsiveness
of an emu to antibiotics. The typical American emu farmer also does not use
growth hormones or steroids on their farm raised emus as the feed industry
has developed superior natural feeds that closely match the nutrition that
the emu requires to obtain maximum weight and production.

The
AEA
Certification Program is important to you ....
|
|
|
...as
a consumer you are assured that the Pure Emu Oil was
tested by an independent and certified and qualified member of the
AOCS and found to be, as required by the AEA
Trade Rules. The Seller is therefore permitted
to apply the seal to the oil container.

|
Our
Pure Emu Oil carries the seal on every bottle as
well as (
and we are the only ones) the
Predicate 'Virginia's Finest' from the Virginia
Department of Agriculture.
Our
Pure Emu Oil is eatable. It also can be applied
directly to a wound. That's a good
Oil.
