Prop 65 + Food and Beverage – What Does it Mean?

Prop 65 + Other Toxic Exposures - What Does it Mean?
The “Safe Harbor” and “Distilled Spirits” postings cover restaurants for the most common categories of toxic exposure. However, the Prop 65 toxic chemical list was updated to include Bisphenol S (“BPS”). Restaurants should review their products and determine if ADDITIONAL WARNING postings are needed.
