OEHHA Extends Comment Deadline on Latest Prop. 65 Food Warning Proposal

California EPA’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has extended the comment period for its food warning regulations until March 1, 2010. The latest proposal is to establish a pilot program that would impose Proposition 65 (Prop. 65) warning obligations on food manufacturers and retailers to inform consumers about the presence of food ingredients known to the state to cause
cancer or reproductive harm. Additional information about the pilot program appears in issue 331 of this Update. The program, which would expire in four to five years, would allow the agency to test its assumptions about levels of participation and coverage. See News from OEHHA, January 21, 2010.
