About Prop 65
Our Obsession for Quality and Safety
Ka’Chava is proudly produced in state-of-the-art facilities with quality and safety standards exceeding FDA and cGMP guidelines.
We want to assure all residents of California that our products are tested regularly to ensure safety and quality.
How do we do this?
Before approval for use, each and every raw ingredient we receive is evaluated for physical, chemical, contaminant, and microbiological attributes when applicable. In addition, identity testing is conducted for each dietary ingredient.
Once our products are finished, they then go on to be tested for label claim, microbiological, physical, and other attributes. Each production batch receives its own Certificate of Analysis, which is then reviewed and approved by the Quality Department before distribution to commerce.
As part of this quality system, we test for heavy metals such as: Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury to comply with the requirements of Prop 65.
So What is Prop 65?
Proposition 65 or “Prop 65” refers to a California state law, formally known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.
Prop 65 requires businesses to warn Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, congenital defects, or other reproductive harm. By requiring that this information be provided, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about their exposure to these chemicals.
A Proposition 65 warning does not necessarily mean a product is in violation of any product-safety standards or requirements as published on the OEHHA website.
This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 900 chemicals since it was first published in 1987.
