California judge affirms ruling for coffee cancer warnings
- A Los Angeles judge finalized a ruling on this Monday 5/7/18 saying that coffee sold in California must carry cancer warnings.
- The judge said roasters and retailers failed to show that benefits from drinking coffee outweighed any risks from a carcinogen that is a byproduct of the roasting process.
- The final ruling clears the way for the Council for Education and Research on Toxics to seek a permanent injunction that would either lead to ominous warning labels or a commitment by the industry to remove the chemical from their product.
