California Proposition 65
Information regarding product materials, chemicals, and California state compliance.
Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. By requiring that this information be provided, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals.
MOREFLAVOR! prioritizes ethical and responsible business practices, adhering to all applicable laws, including California Proposition 65.
Out of an abundance of caution, MOREFLAVOR! provides the required Proposition 65 warning for any listed substances (as detailed on the OEHHA website) present in our components. Given our extensive product line of over 10,000 items, comprehensive testing for Safe Harbor levels across our entire catalog is neither physically nor financially feasible. Such an undertaking would necessitate millions of individual tests.
This warning does not indicate that our products pose a health risk. Furthermore, a Proposition 65 warning does not imply non-compliance with any product safety standards or regulations. We are confident that our products are safe when used as intended. This warning is provided solely to ensure compliance with California law. Information regarding materials and finishes containing listed substances is available in the reference chart below.
For any inquiries, please contact us. For guidance on your responsibilities as a Manufacturer or Distributor concerning warning materials, please consult the Frequently Asked Questions for Businesses section on the Proposition 65 Warnings Website.
The General Proposition 65 Notice:
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
