Are your powders and spices tested for heavy metals?

Any farm product from China should be tested for heavy metals, e.g., lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, mercury, etc. The reason: in their quest for economic clout, China's rulers for decades disregarded environmental safety measures. So, smelters for metal ores and coal-fired power plants did not have smoke-stack scrubbers, to remove heavy metals. Winds distribute smoke-stack effluents. The soil on farms hundreds of miles distance from a pollution source can be contaminated. A farmer - in any country - would not likely know this. Remember that when the Soviet nuclear power plant at Chernobyl melted-down, the radiation spread far and wide.

what is the country of origin of this ginger?

This ginger root is grown and processed in Peru.

What is the country it’s grown in?

Per label it is distributed by Frontier Natural Products Co-op in Norway, Iowa (NOT the country Norway). The seller should answer as to where it is actually grown. Some answers state it is Peru, but I see no evidence of that.
