SULFUR DIOXIDE LISTED AS A PROP 65 CHEMICAL

By Lee Smith on August 29, 2011
Email this postTweet this postLike this postShare this post on LinkedIn

Sulfur dioxide was recently added as a Proposition 65 chemical that could require warnings to consumers and employees as a chemical that may cause reproductive effects. The listing of sulfur dioxide will be particularly troublesome because sulfur dioxide is used as a fumigant and preservative on a number of fruits, including grapes and in related food products, such as wine. Please see our recent blog entitled, “Sulfur Dioxide Added to Prop 65 Could Have Broad Range of Impacts” and California Grape and Fruit Tree League comments for additional information.
