- WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead which is [are] known to the State of California to cause [cancer and] birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/food.
The phrase "cancer and" in the Warning should be used if there is reason to believe that the "Daily Lead Exposure Level" is greater than 15 micrograms of lead or if there is reason to believe that another Proposition 65 chemical is present which may require a cancer warning.
The Warning shall be securely attached or printed on the container or label of each Covered Product. If the Warning is provided on the label, it must be set off from other surrounding information and enclosed in a box.
For any Covered Product sold over the internet, the Warning shall appear on the checkout page when a California delivery address is indicated. An asterisk (or other identifying method) must be used to identify which products on the checkout page are subject to the Warning. The Warning should never be contained through a link.
The Warning shall be at least the same size as the largest of any other health or safety warnings also appearing on the website, label, or container of the product packaging.The word "WARNING" shall be in all capital letters and in bold print. No statements intended to diminish the impact of the Warning should accompany the Warning.
No statements may accompany the Warning that state or imply that the source of the listed chemical results in a less harmful effect.
The Warning must be clear and visible compared to other words, statements, or designs on the label, container or website. This way, it is likely to be read and understood by the average person purchasing the products.
Beginning within one year, Mineral Resources International will arrange for lead testing of the Covered Products at least once a year for a minimum of four consecutive years. This is done by arranging for the testing of one randomly selected sample of the Covered Product they plan to distribute in California.
If tests conducted demonstrate that no Warning is required for a Covered Product during each of the four consecutive years, then the testing requirements will no longer be required.

THE DOCTOR OF THE FUTURE WILL NO LONGER TREAT THE HUMAN FRAME WITH DRUGS, BUT RATHER WILL CURE AND PREVENT DISEASE WITH NUTRITION. ~THOMAS EDISON
On a mission to safeguard the public from health hazards that impact families, workers, and the environment, The Environmental Research Center was established in 2009 under the leadership of Executive Director, Chris Heptinstall. Environmental Research Center (ERC) advocates on behalf of the public by creating awareness to manufacturers concerning the hazardous substances present in their products. It is not only the goal of ERC to create awareness for manufacturers but also to facilitate the appropriate changes to products in violation by reformulating or providing warning labels on product packaging to better assist consumers 'on the floor' in making more informed decisions. Through independent lab testing of meal replacement and dietary supplement products, ERC monitors many products on the market today. Although ERC focuses primarily on nutrition products in the form of capsules, tablets, and powders, concerned citizens are encouraged to contact us to inquire about any and all products they may have questions about.
Consumer Protection is the highest priority of ERC. As an established nonprofit organization, ERC seeks to promote a culture of informed and educated individuals by providing resources for the researching and testing of dietary supplements and meal replacement products. ERC tests products to ensure the accuracy of product formula and messaging. Catapulting off California’s Proposition 65, which requires a company to notify California residents if products contain above-threshold levels of toxic substances, manufactures are legally obligated to disclose a warning label if product formula contains toxic levels of noted substances in the proposition. Although the remaining 49 states do not currently have restrictions on toxic substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic to name a few. Products in violation are required to contain warning labels or undergo reformulation upon entering into the state of California in order to be compliant with Proposition 65. With a vast array of products on the market along with many emerging daily, ERC maintains a consistent schedule of evaluating, testing, and researching products of concern. If products are found in violation of Prop. 65, ERC provides legal council to bring a quick and effective change.
Product safety is how ERC executes the core mission to safeguard the public from health hazards that impact families, workers, and the environment. Since the passing of Proposition 65 in 1986, progress has been made toward the end goals of reducing hazardous substances in consumable products & emissions, creating awareness of the dangers associated with increased exposure to hazardous chemicals, and advocating for a safe & healthy culture (OEHHA.GOV) . ERC is on a mission to implement the necessary actions to ensure product safety and consumer protection within the dietary supplements/meal replacement industry.
