Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical substance that may be used in the manufacture of certain plastic products and materials. In Japan, food-contact utensils, containers, and packaging materials are subject to safety requirements established under the Food Sanitation Act. In the U.S. state of California, BPA is also regulated under Proposition 65. When exposure to BPA is determined to exceed the applicable regulatory threshold, a Proposition 65 warning may be required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover SONOMONO\u2019s quality standards: Saga Prefecture specially cultivated soybeans, The Non-GMO Project Verified, pesticide residue, radioactive substance and heavy metal testing, and manufacturing at a JFS-B Standard-compliant facility.
