Why does Haitai's black bean paste have a California cancer warning?

questions

Ingredients are soybean, wheat flour, water, salt, caramel, corn syrup, sugar, wheat starch and onion. I wrote the company but of course, no response.

You can look up prop 65 it basically entails that certain chemical can give you cancer or you can be at risk of obtaining the illness.

An example would be the packaging container.

Is the caramel a caramel colouring?

Many companies, for example, uses PFCs in their food packaging, and because it’s not technically an ingredient doesn’t show up on the list. But even 8 parts per trillion of PFXs in food can cause cancer. And the paste can easily pick up that level of PFCs simply by coming into contact with the container.

That’s why something like a third of the American population has unsafe levels of the stuff in their blood.

Ah ok...it's the jar. Thanks. My Hmart only carries Haitai or Wang. I will go back and look at Wang's jar.
