California AG Protected Consumers from Dangerous Levels of Lead in Dried Fruit and Candy
FEBRUARY 4, 2022
California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a consumer alert for over 15 dried fruit and candy products that contain dangerous levels of lead, many of which were specifically marketed towards children. Federal law requires food products that exceed a certain level of lead to include a warning on the packaging; California law prohibits these items from being sold in California at all.
