CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 NOTICE

Last updated: July 11, 2026

1. What Is Proposition 65?

California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires businesses to provide warnings if their products may expose consumers to chemicals listed by the state as known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

2. Why This Notice Applies to Hojicha

Hojicha is a roasted tea. High‑heat roasting of plant‑based foods can naturally produce small amounts of acrylamide, a chemical listed under Proposition 65.

  • Acrylamide forms in many roasted and high‑heat cooked foods, including coffee, bread, crackers, and roasted nuts.

  • Our hojicha is produced under strict quality and food safety standards (ISO 22000 and HACCP) with documented controls to minimize contaminants.

3. Official Proposition 65 Warning

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including acrylamide, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

4. What This Means for You

The presence of this warning does not mean our product violates any safety standards. It is provided to comply with California law and to ensure you are informed.

  • The levels of acrylamide in roasted teas like hojicha are generally low.

  • Our producer follows internationally recognized food safety and quality systems.
