The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) has issued guidance for companies regarding the listing of "aloe vera, non-decolorized whole leaf extract" and "goldenseal root powder" under Prop 65 [see OEHHA Lists Two Plant Extracts Over Objections from Herbal Products Groups, December 15, 2015].
In an article by Nutraceuticals World, AHPA said that the recognition by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) "that these ingredients are 'natural constituents' of their botanical sources may suggest that the 'naturally occurring' exemption will apply to products that contain Aloe vera, non-decolorized whole leaf extract or goldenseal root powder." But they warn producers that "60-day notices have been brought against several marketers of pennyroyal oil by one private plaintiff due to absence of warnings for the naturally-occurring presence of pulegone, another substance listed as a carcinogen."
