1. OEHHA Finalizes Prop 65 Cooking Exemption

OEHHA's final cooking exemption for acrylamide was published near the end of last year and will become effective on April 1, 2023. This action provides a regulatory pathway for additional “heat formed” chemicals on the Prop 65 list. Below are key elements of the final rule. 

  • Like the proposed rule, the final cooking exemption applies only to acrylamide, rather than to all listed chemicals created during cooking or heat processing
  • The final rule defines "lowest level currently feasible" by requiring application of the Codex standard for acrylamide reduction
  • Companies can continue relying on other information and data to demonstrate that a Prop 65 warning is not warranted for a specific product
  • Companies having acrylamide compliance levels in court-ordered settlements and final judgments entered prior to April 1, 2023, to the extent they differ from the safe harbor levels in the new regulation, continue to apply to the parties to those settlements
Read the full final rule from the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment
