California AB 1200 Cookware Environmental Safety Disclosure
California AB 1200 cookware safety disclosure is an important aspect of our commitment to transparency regarding the chemical composition of cookware products sold by Wine Drop Cookery. Effective January 1, 2023, this state law mandates that all manufacturers and retailers disclose certain chemicals, including PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), lead, cadmium, and other regulated substances present in cookware. At Wine Drop Cookery, we prioritize the health and safety of our customers and the environment, ensuring that you are informed about the products you use.
What is California AB 1200?
California AB 1200 (Food Packaging: Cookware) is critical legislation aimed at enhancing consumer knowledge. It requires cookware manufacturers and sellers to disclose the presence of intentionally added chemicals of concern in their products. This law covers a wide variety of cookware including pots, pans, skillets, griddles, and bakeware. With the California AB 1200 cookware safety disclosure, consumers can make informed decisions about the cookware they purchase.
Chemicals subject to disclosure include:
- PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) — including PTFE (Teflon) and related compounds
- Lead
- Cadmium
- Arsenic
- Other chemicals listed on California's Candidate Chemicals List
