California introduces regulations to restrict perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food contact materials and articles derived from plant fibers. The law also requires the disclosing of designated chemicals contained in cookware.

The State Governor sighed AB 1200 into law on October 5, 2021. It adds a new Chapter 15 ‘Chemicals of Concern in Food Packaging and Cookware’, commencing with Section 109000, to the state’s Health and Safety Code in Part 3 of Division 104.

Under the terms of the law, PFAS will be restricted to less than 100 ppm (as total organic fluorine). PFAS are a family of fluorinated organic chemicals containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom. It applies to food packaging that is substantially made of paper, paperboard, or from materials using fibers derived from plants and includes eating utensils, food boxes, food or beverage containers, liners, serving vessels, straws, take-out food containers, unit product boxes, wrappers and disposable plates, bowls and trays.

The law also requires the disclosure of specified chemicals contained in the cookware handle or surfaces that may come into contact with food, foodstuffs or beverages. The designated list contains substances that have been identified as candidate chemicals, exhibiting a hazard trait or an environmental or toxicological endpoint that meets the criteria in regulations adopted by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) pursuant to Article 14 (commencing with Section 25251) of Chapter 6.5 of Division 20. This is published on the DTSC’s website.

Disclosure must be done online (in the sale listing) and/or on the product label.

Online disclosure requires:

1. List of designated chemicals contained in the cookware
2. Names of the authoritative list(s) referenced by the DTSC in compiling the designated list on which each chemical is present
3. Link to internet website for the authoritative list(s) in point 2

Product labels should contain the introductory phrase, ‘This product contains:’, followed by a bi-lingual statement (English and Spanish) reading ‘For more information about chemicals in this product, visit’. This must then be followed by both of the following:

1. Internet website address or a web page that provides all of the information in online disclosure
2. Quick response (QR) code or other machine-readable code, consisting of an array of squares, used for storing an internet website for a web page that provides all of the information in the online disclosure requirements

Cookware exemptions must meet both of these criteria:

1. Surface area of the cookware is less than 2 square inches
2. Cookware does not have:
   • Exterior container or wrapper on which a product label can appear or be affixed
   • Tag or other attachment with information about the product attached to the cookware

Cookware is defined as durable and used in homes and restaurants to prepare, dispense, or store food, foodstuffs, or beverages – includes baking molds, baking sheets, bowls, grills, pans, pots, skillets, trays and cooking utensils.

The new regulations come into effect on January 1, 2023.

A new analysis of patients with diabetes has identified the most popular behaviors, foods and activities that reverse their condition, and return blood sugar levels back to the normal range without medication.

The data analysis involved 5,355 people who used the diabetes management app, Klinio, for a minimum of 14 days, and logged their blood sugar levels, meals and activities.

The analysis found it took an average 36 days for patients with prediabetes to bring their blood sugar levels under control and 52 days for patients with type 2 diabetes when they drank 7 glasses of water a day and took 7,500 daily steps. And the longer app users stuck with this behavior, the more their blood sugar levels stabilized, according to the data analysis.

Blood sugar levels that drop by at least 5 percent in the first 7 days of reporting and are below 7.8 mmol/L are typically classified as improving conditions.

Dr. Braden Barnett, Medical Advisor to Klinio, said the team at Klinio conducted the data analysis to quantify how simple lifestyle changes could lower blood sugar levels for people with diabetes.

“When you’re in the middle of a diabetes battle, it’s not always easy to see the end,” said Barnett.  “But diabetes can be improved with simple health changes in a short period of time, and this data proves it. If you stick with a diabetes management plan, like in our study - Klinio-, the data shows blood sugar levels drop. And the longer you stick with the diabetes plan, the better results you see.”

Consumers can download the Klinio app for free with iOS or Android.

Direct Relationship Between Weight Loss and Tracking Blood Sugar

The data analysis also found a direct correlation between weight loss and tracking blood sugar levels. Patients with diabetes who had the discipline to track and control their blood sugar levels had a better than 1 in 2 chance (56 percent) of losing weight, compared to those who didn’t control their levels and had a 43 percent chance of weight loss. This finding was consistent among all users, regardless of how often or how long they used Klinio. 

Patients with prediabetes showed the largest benefit from tracking: 61 percent of them lost weight when they tracked their blood sugar levels. 

“It takes discipline to continually track blood sugar levels, but that was our biggest finding: that discipline overtime will lead to better health,” said Barnett. “If you make the effort with tracking, diabetics will see the results in a relatively short period of time.

Diabetics Who Show Most Health Improvement

As part of their behavior analysis, Klinio took a specific look at diabetics who got the healthiest and brought their diabetes under control. Their analysts found the most popular foods by people who lowered their blood sugar levels were oats, various berries, olive oil, seeds, avocado and fresh vegetables and fruits.

“Our diet findings reinforce our conclusion around discipline. Diabetics who are disciplined enough to track their blood sugar levels also tend to eat healthier,” said Barnett.

One in 3 Americans have prediabetes, and one in 5 Americans will have full-on diabetes by 2025, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
