Since 1999 Drucker Labs has produced a line of
high-quality, trace mineral-based nutritional supplements with a goal of continual
improvement of our products through innovation and quality. We always have been
fully committed to complying with all federal and state laws and dedicated to
working with our customers and suppliers to ensure our intraLine products meet
consumer product safety requirements. As part of this continued promise and
partnership, we have created this page to provide information regarding
Proposition 65 (Prop 65) as it pertains to our products and items you need to
know as a consumer of our products.
What is Prop 65?
Prop 65 (otherwise known as the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) lays out requirements for both the State and for businesses. First the State must publish a list of chemicals which are known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. The second step is that businesses which are subject to Prop 65 are required to provide a clear and reasonable warning prior to distributing a product that may have a chemical listed in Prop 65.
The current list of chemicals contains more than 900
naturally-occurring and synthetic chemicals. Some of the listed chemicals such
as lead, cadmium, and arsenic are naturally found in the environment and also
are often found in common foods and nutrients even though these chemicals are
not directly added. (For the complete
list of chemicals, visit https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/proposition-65-list)
Why
is there a warning label on certain products?
intraLINE products contain ingredients (mainly minerals) which can naturally contain lead.
All of our ingredients are sourced with a focus on quality; however, there is
no way to remove the lead from the ingredients. Every lot of our finished
product is tested to ensure that levels stay within the specifications laid out
by the Food and Drug Administration. You
will find this label on the bottom of our intraMIN® Tropical Fruit and intraMIN® Unflavored products:
“WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals
including lead,
which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects.
For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov."
What products currently require a label?
intraMIN® Tropical Fruit
intraMIN®
Unflavored
It is very important to note that a Prop 65 warning notice does not mean our products are dangerous or harmful.
The exposure limits that the State of California has set for many chemicals on the Prop 65 list are far below the “safe” limits set by all other states. They are below guiding regulatory agencies as well, like the Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and even the World Health Organization. Our products are the same quality products you have come to expect from Drucker Labs.
