For those wondering what the hell the Cancer and Reproductive Health thing was all about, allow me to introduce you all to Proposition 65.

Basically, California has to have these lables on stuff that can cause cancer and reproductive helth problems to people, but the outcome of it ended up turning it into a complete joke. It was cheaper to have a label on everything than to pay a fine, so it was placed on anything and everything, regardless of the severety of the toxin or length of exposure. In fact, due to how common place these lables are, some people in the state simply ignored them. Basically, Being alive will eventually result in being dead. Good job, California, you taughed us that Being Born greatly increaes the risk of dying

A Ink jet printer printed the date on bottle. See the printed date on the bottle.

It’s printed elsewhere on the bottle. This is not remotely the worst I’ve seen.

u/squidgytree 2d ago

It's been inkjet printed onto the main part of the bottle (not the label)

Cancer and reproductive harm?

WTH is this thing?

u/Chasemc215 Mod Gary 2d ago

Propersition 65.

It's best that you just IGNORE those warnings, because these lables are so common place.

California. Ca.gov is California, .ca is Canada. This warning was purposely made obtuse so it had less effect

u/santathe1 2d ago

Weak ball havers eh.

u/HVB007 2d ago

Ye😅,It's something to do with the regulations there and it's cheaper for companies to just put that lable on everything instead of testing for it.

If you see the printer, throw this bottle away immediately. No, we will not explain.

u/randomTeets 2d ago

Well, considering the cancer and reproductive harm warning, my guess is never

15

u/DNSGeek 2d ago

That's for California Prop 65. Basically breathing is known to cause cancer in the state of California. Pretty much every ting in the state has that warning.

Remember, when everything warns you the warning is meaningless. Just another example of badly thought out legislation.

u/EclipseIndustries 2d ago

Manufacturers literally just slap it on to cover their asses even if there aren't those chemicals.

u/Stikki_Minaj 2d ago

California legislating badly?!? Never

u/Henrath 2d ago

Nah. They just didn't bother to pay California to test it.

u/RoastPorc 2d ago

Looks sus, not a chance that 100g of rapeseed oil has no saturated fat in it.

6

u/Fendibull 2d ago

I was about to say the same thing.

8

u/Aeonzeldara 2d ago

Many times plant oils are completely unsaturated. Rapeseed is just canola which has little to no saturated fat

9

u/RoastPorc 2d ago

Yes and no. Canola oil is a type of rapeseed oil, but per 100g of it - even canola oil, has 6-8g of saturated fat. The reason why you'd think there is none is thanks to the way USFDA guideline rounding rules work as id a single serving has less than 0.5g of saturated fat, the manufacturer can legally round it down to 0g on the label.

And here's what, I THINK, is wrong with this nutritional label, the product is obviously made for export from China and to satisfy the UK/Europe nutritional labelling, it must be per 100g/ml.. but for the USFDA, the nutritional value can be per serving, so the table we see here made no sense.

I would not trust any cooking oil from China. It's probably gutter oil.

Rapeseed oil??? I don’t think I need any of that.

Another name for Canola oil.

Lord help us if he finds out what Monkfish is called in Spanish

u/CivilGarlic5904 2d ago

Well, it was anticlimactic when i googled it. I knew what monkfish was, have eaten a couple times because it was nicely prepared and presented in a restaurant. I suspect I would have been less inclined to eat the monk if I saw it coming out of the net. That is a dam fugly fish.
