                                According to California's Proposition 65, any product sold in the state that contains certain chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm requires a warning label. This is the primary reason why blackstrap molasses, which contains naturally occurring trace amounts of lead and acrylamide, carries a warning label.
