Prop 65 Warning

California Proposition 65 Warning

Proposition 65 Notice for California Customers

At The Head Nut, we are committed to providing our customers with high-quality products and transparent information.

California’s Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires businesses to provide warnings for products that may expose consumers to chemicals identified by the State of California as causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Some products sold by The Head Nut may contain naturally occurring trace amounts of chemicals listed under Proposition 65.

Why You May See This Warning

Many foods and natural products — including coffee, nuts, spices, teas, candies, dried fruits, and other specialty food items — can contain naturally occurring chemicals such as lead or acrylamide. These substances may be present due to growing conditions, processing, roasting, or manufacturing methods.

For example:

  • Roasted coffee products may contain acrylamide formed during the roasting process.
  • Certain spices, herbs, dried fruits, and natural foods may contain trace amounts of lead or other naturally occurring minerals absorbed from soil and water.

The presence of a Proposition 65 warning does not necessarily mean a product is unsafe. California’s standards for warnings are often much stricter than federal standards and those used in many other states.

Our Commitment to Quality

The Head Nut carefully sources products from trusted suppliers and manufacturers and strives to meet all applicable food safety and labeling requirements. We provide Proposition 65 warnings where required by California law to help customers make informed purchasing decisions.
