prop 65

[Guest guest]

Here is a good link on prop 65.

http://www.prop65news.com/pubs/brochure/madesimple.html

It only requires warnings on certain products; it does not ban any herbal

products as far as I can tell

Companies like KPC and springwind already comply by testing for heavy

metals and AA.

However, you will now see such warnings in chinese herb shops that carry

patents from china.

I do not think it will affect raw herbs and powders from reputable companies.

Does anyone have additional info?

I have just heard from one of the suppliers that they are actually after money from the herb companies. They are suing all the companies that have ever sent herbs to CA FDA for analysis. Also many herbs probably do not comply with the levels required because they are quite unreasonable.
