Many plants can naturally absorb trace amounts of minerals, including heavy metals, from the soils in which they are grown. Prop 65’s warning threshold levels are almost always much lower than health-based thresholds set by U.S. federal health and safety regulators, as well as those elsewhere in the world. For reproductive toxins, for example, the level is set at 1,000 times below the level at which no effect has been observed based on animal studies.

To ensure our customers have as much information as possible, we provide Prop 65 warnings for some of our products. We provide these warnings to inform our customers, but this does not mean that eating any of our products poses a health risk.
