Frequently Asked Regulatory Questions (FDA / OEHHA / CPSC)

Does Soy Lecithin in chocolate require a 'Contains: Soy' allergen warning?

Yes! Unless the soy lecithin has been granted a specific FDA petition exemption (highly refined oil), standard soy lecithin is derived from soybeans and must be declared either in the ingredient list as 'Soy Lecithin' or in a 'Contains: Soy' statement.

Do Food Prop 65 warnings for chocolate use the yellow triangle symbol?

Under 27 CCR § 25607.2, the Safe Harbor warning for food and dietary supplements does NOT require the yellow exclamation point triangle symbol; it is enclosed in a distinct box to set it apart from other label text.
