Coffee sellers in California now have to put a cancer warning on coffee sold in the state. <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/starbucks-coffee-sellers-in-california-must-have-cancer-warning-judge-says?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fox-business-starbucks-coffee-sellers-in-california-must-have-cancer-warning-judge-says-2706105" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">According to Fox Business</a>, this move comes after a Los Angeles judge made a ruling, potentially exposing coffee companies in the areas to heavy fines.

The cause for the warning stems from acrylamide, which is a chemical that occurs as a byproduct of roasting coffee beans. The grounds for the ruling is that there&rsquo;s a California law requiring companies to warn consumers of chemicals that could cause cancer. However, this ruling may not be final. The defendants in the case&mdash;including Starbucks&mdash;have until April 10 to file any objections.

In a statement cited by Fox Business, the National Coffee Association said, &ldquo;Cancer warning labels on coffee would be misleading. The U.S. government&rsquo;s own Dietary Guidelines state that coffee can be a part of a healthy lifestyle.&rdquo;
