California Prop. 65 Notice

What is California’s Prop. 65?

California’s Proposition 65 (aka Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 or "Prop. 65") is a law that is exclusively found and enforced in California. The law requires businesses to inform Californians about potential exposures to any of about 1,000 chemicals the State of California has identified as potentially linked to cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm, even at trace levels. 

Prop. 65 is a so-called "right to know" law. The law not only applies to water, but also to consumer goods such as food, supplements, clothing, toys, household goods, and more. Warnings can be found digitally and physically on websites, packaging, restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, bars, schools, airports, hospitals, professional offices, and theme parks, among other places.

Does a Prop 65 Warning Mean a Product Is Unsafe?

No. A Prop 65 warning does not mean a product is dangerous or will cause harm. We are confident that our products meet or exceed required safety standards.  

Prop 65 warning thresholds are often set at levels far below those associated with known health risks. We do not intentionally add Prop. 65 chemicals to our products. Many of the listed Prop. 65 chemicals, including trace amounts of heavy metals, can occur naturally in food and ingredients due to environmental factors such as air, soil, and water. As a result, Prop. 65 warnings appear on a wide range of everyday products — including foods commonly consumed as part of a balanced diet.
