OEHHA Prop 65

 

On July 22, 2016, California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), issued a request that would permit point-of-sale signage for everything containing Bisphenol-A (BPA).

 

This new request, that focuses specifically on BPA used in food packaging, would require all producers, importers, manufacturers, or distributers of foods in BPA to send specific information to OEHHA about their products so that they can post the information on the agency website.

 

By December 30, 2017, OEHHA hopes that with this rule all manufacturers will have eliminated BPA from their packing, label their products to state it contains BPA or provide retailers with signs and tags, to give the consumer the right to know.
