California AB 1200 — Cookware Chemical Disclosure
This page is provided by G & F Products, Inc. to satisfy the online disclosure requirement of California Health & Safety Code § 109012 (Assembly Bill 1200).

About AB 1200
California’s AB 1200 (Health & Safety Code § 109000 et seq.) requires manufacturers of certain cookware to disclose whether chemicals on designated lists are intentionally added to a product’s food-contact surfaces or handles. AB 1200 is a California-only law. Beginning January 1, 2023, manufacturers must identify such chemicals on their website; beginning January 1, 2024, manufacturers must also identify those chemicals on the product label where the product bears packaging or a label.
“Intentionally added” means the manufacturer added the chemical to the product and the chemical has a functional or technical effect in the product. The complete set of chemicals and authoritative lists that DTSC uses is maintained by DTSC at https://dtsc.ca.gov/scp/authoritative-lists/.
