    Bought these without noticing the warning, I can’t imagine the noodles themselves have anything bad in them, most likely the packaging right?

    Just weird to see this label, especially in Ohio lol

    Likely for acrylamide, which forms naturally in starchy foods. They probably sell these in California as well so they just slap the label on all of them.

    I look forward to the day when the California cancer warning stickers are found to potentially cause cancer and need their own infinitely regressing sticker.

    Here’s the thing about California’s Prop 65 warning, anything that potentially can cause cancer needs to carry that label. When I say anything, I mean absolutely anything. The Prop 65 warning is on so many things it has functionally lost it’s purpose. There’s more products with the label than without.

    Why is that label there? Because multiple ingredients in noodles are linked to cancer. What are those ingredients? Wheat. Why is the label on your package you bought in Ohio? Because the company that made those noodles has one package so they made sure to get any compliance things taken care of.

    Could be BPA in the packaging or something. Don’t eat the plastic.
