Unless you're studying captive bred foods under a mircoscope for parasites, no one can garantee this. Parasites are common in almost all amphibians in captivity and in the wild. What typically makes them an issue is poor husbandry leading to health issues where the captive animal isn't able to deal with the parasite load and additional stress. I've had mine for over 5 years and had no issues whatsoever.
