关于我们
The Center for Research on Ingredient Safety at Michigan State University (CRIS) is one of the few organizations in the world willing to tackle the hard questions about ingredient safety in our everyday products. ? From food to beverages to household products and cosmetics, society trusts that the companies, organizations, and established federal guidelines put consumer and constituent health first. But how do we ensure these entities have our best interest at heart? How do we know that what they are saying about the ingredients in our everyday products are true? CRIS fills that void. We use expert knowledge to research, fact check, and supply the global community with the latest science-based information about the ingredients in our food and cosmetics.? We leverage the expertise of established investigators who have devoted their lives work to science, and we demystify dense academic journal findings and governmental reports so you can make informed decisions about the science in our lives. We are unique in that we work with academia, government, non-governmental organizations, and industry to understand the safe use of ingredients. To be a CRIS Partner, an entity must be willing to submit to our code of ethics of complete transparency and always put the consumers’ best interests regarding ingredient safety first. While this may make us unpopular with some groups, we believe that transparency and truth are requirements to earn your trust and the global community's confidence.

We've read the headlines and heard people's concerns about tampon safety. Here's what we know and why we agree that tampons remain safe, even in light of the new research: ?? Detection and Levels: A recent study detected trace amounts of metals like arsenic, lead, and cadmium in tampons. However, these were found at low levels, well below what is considered harmful. ??? Safety and Regulation: Tampons are regulated by the FDA as medical devices, ensuring they meet safety standards. Decades of use and comprehensive research confirm that tampons are safe when used as directed, with no documented cases of metal poisoning. ?? Sources of Contaminants: Metals and metalloids can enter tampons through natural processes, farming methods, and manufacturing. Cotton, a primary material in tampons, naturally absorbs these elements from soil, air, and water. The key takeaway? Tampons remain a safe and reliable choice for menstrual health.
