Coalition Letter Regarding Warning Content for Acrylamide Exposure from Food

The Coalition opposes the Proposed Rulemaking because it is a radical departure from OEHHA’s long-standing approach to safe harbor warnings, will foster confusion among consumers and businesses alike, and is not based in sound policy or science. Instead, it is a strategic tactic in litigation, a late effort to delay the federal district court’s consideration of the merits of CalChamber’s challenge to acrylamide warnings for food, and an attempt to authorize so many possible warnings—320 in all—as to overwhelm the resources of CalChamber to contest each of them.
