What is Proposition 65? Prop 65 (also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) entitles California residents to warning labels on food and other products that may contain substances known to cause cancer or reproductive harm with continuous exposure above the threshold. Prop 65 warnings are only required under California law. Because we care about our customers’ safety, we want to share the information below to help with your purchasing decision. What is the required warning? We are providing the following warning to products linked to this page: WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including mercury, which is (are) known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov Are products labeled with the Prop 65 warning unsafe? A Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product will cause cancer or reproductive harm when consumed. Prop 65 standards are among the strictest in place anywhere and are usually more stringent than federal standards. For example, warning labels are required for exposure to reproductive toxins that are 1,000 times lower than the level at which animal studies reported no reproductive health effect. Warning labels are also required for carcinogens that are known as having a 1 in 100,000 chance of causing cancer over a 70-year period. At these doses, the risk of harm is very low, yet a product still requires the Prop 65 warning. Prop 65 warnings are everywhere in California, on varying consumer products -- in restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals. However, enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent and sometimes explains why you will find similar products in the market without a warning label. Other companies may choose not to provide warnings, but this does not mean that the product is free of the same substances at similar levels.
