What Is Prop 65?
If you’ve seen a label or sticker on a product that says something about “chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm,” you’ve encountered California’s Proposition 65, often shortened to Prop 65.
This law was originally created with good intentions — to protect consumers from exposure to harmful chemicals. But over the years, it’s become one of the most misunderstood pieces of regulation in the wellness industry.
So let’s clear up the confusion.
What Prop 65 Actually Is
Prop 65 is a California law that requires businesses to label products that may contain trace amounts of certain substances known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.
This includes:
- Heavy metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury
- Chemicals found in plastics, pesticides, and even naturally occurring soil minerals
Even if these substances occur in minuscule, naturally present amounts, they must be disclosed — especially in products sold to or shipped within California.
Here’s What That Label Doesn’t Tell You
- Trace amounts of heavy metals exist naturally in soil and water — and are found in many organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
- If a product is certified organic, it will likely contain some naturally occurring heavy metals — but that doesn’t mean it’s harmful.
- Prop 65’s limits are significantly stricter than federal or international standards. In fact, the allowable amounts are so low that most whole food products wouldn’t pass without a warning — including things like spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, or turmeric.
In other words:
A Prop 65 label does not mean a product is unsafe.
