What part of that are you having trouble understanding?
It seems pretty cut and dry.

And that is supposed to explain... what now?

>>19483924
It's a subtle way of telling you to not eat it

i'm furfurry

California is autistic about carcinogens. The threshold they have for requiring this warning is stupid low

California's standards for this shit are so idiotic. By slapping that label on everything, it actually allows companies to inject MORE nasty shit into food since every other product has it.

>>19484757
>in theeery i can imagine this hyperthetikkal where
Thats not how that works out at all anon.

>>19483924
They do probably mean there's corn product in it somewhere, almost all commercial corn is gmo at this point

>>19484782
It probably is happening already and you've been accumulating ligma in your blood

HOW MANY FUCKING WHITE CASTLE THREADS DO WE NEED PER DAY HOLY MOTHERFUCK YOU FAT BITCH, EAT SOMETHING ELSE FOR A CHANGE

>>19483963
they label everything as giving you cancer in comifornia

>breathing
>don't do it cancer

>>19484782
Nigga is right, that label is everywhere so its completely meaningless. Nobody pays attention it to so a smart company would exploit it.

>>19484829
Supposufly its pacause to not have the label the company would have to do a bunch of ridiculous shit to prove its not carcinogenic so the companies dont bother.

bioengineered part is from beet sugar, because sugar beets have been engineered. the california warning is on literally everything and means nothing.

>>19483924
>this product is 10% glyphosate by weight

Get off of 4chan for once you loser.

>>19483924
Not the hecking GMOrinos...

>>19483924
Just EAT IT!!!

>>19484829
A smart company would spend more money on dangerous ingredients that might kill its customers and expose it to lawsuits? Do you even listen to yourself?

Not related to this product, but I think they stopped selling Dad's Root Beer at stores because of this furfuryl alcohol stuff. Friggin' California

>>19485399
>spend more money
Way to move the goalposts.

California labels quite literally everything as "known to cause cancer".

Good job retards, now people have just gotten used to ignoring warning labels because you made them so fucking useless.

California is known to cause cancer.

>>19484782
>if you make healthy things label themselves as unhealthy you won’t encourage them to do all the unhealthy stuff they were avoiding to not be labeled unhealthy

>>19485399
They'd spend less money on cheaper ingredients that are perfectly fine and are only labelled dangerous because prop 65 was a poorly written mess. The dangerous part is that it's a greasy salt ball, not the presence of something engineered to be an ingredient.

>>19485926
If you aren't getting into the particular chemicals of your concern, "healthy" and "unhealthy" really are just marketing terms.

Like, does anyone here actually have personal experience with the ingredient in OP's image?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furfuryl_alcohol0

>>19486033
Yeah, it turns your poop into wine

California is cancer.

>>19484810
if anything shouldnt that make you think "wow carcinogenic chemicals are everywhere" and not "lol commies"

>>19486127
No

>>19484782
Yes it is how it works out. Literally every single thing in every import store (Nijiya, Ranch 99, etc) has a Prop 85 warning on it because it is cheaper to put the warning on everything rather than figure out what really needs it. Almost every office building has a Prop 85 warning on the front because they occasionally use WD-40 to lube door hinges. It's a complete joke.

>>19486252
On the catalog small pic I read Bioniggered instead of bioengineered. Clicked expecting a fun thread

>>19486724
BIONIGGERED

this

>>19483924
Lmao
Americans can’t even ban the use of ingredients known to cause cancer.
That’s pretty sad actually.

>>19484757
you know how diet soda's and now all these ZERO CALORIE SODA's no longer use nutrasweet and such???
and they say it causes cancer, allergic reactions and such????
it's because a VERY RARE, GENETICALLY INBRED GROUP OF LITERAL SON/DAUGHTER FAMILY IN CALIFORNIA, who had massive genetic defects to the point of their bodies breaking down and dying before they get to their thirties without medical intervention, were found to be allergic to the active ingredient to nutrasweet, this was used to "ramp up" the interest and switching to different zero calorie sweeteners movement that took off in California and elsewhere(facebook false info/advertisements) this alone fucked over anyone that depend on diet/zero calorie soda's and foods/drinks

also America is going back to olden days of "no booze zones" and shit, so corporate is also going for cheapest and worst alcohol usage in foods/cleaners/etc(thus this warning, that alcohol mentioned is commonly used by corpo's wanting to skimp out on safe alcohol for the cheapest allowable alcohol for cleaning blades and food processors(aka the meat slicers used for the meat in a WHITE CASTLE SLIDER)

and now you know something related to topic AND related to another related topic in other area's

>>19486731
missed opportunity, toronto to ottawa could have been a big smoke cloud

eat the high estrogen bugs goyim

>>19488552

Imagine being so American that you can say this sentence without actually realizing what the fuck you just said.
Sad.
Many such cases.

>>19488552
>depend on diet/zero calorie soda
Literally just fucking kill yourself my guy

>>19483924
Not sure if you're new to this world, but nearly every product has these labels on them now because Califorina has labeled practically everything a risk of causing cancer to scare people. Of course they will never tell you the actual % increase as that might make you realize it's a nothingburger

>>19488523
Your post is a cause of cancer. I would like you banned.

>“US EPA concluded that furfuryl alcohol is ‘Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans’”. “Evidence described in the report[2] includes studies showing that furfuryl alcohol increases the incidence of rare nasal epithelial squamous cell carcinomas and combined nasal epithelial carcinomas and epithelial squamous cell carcinomas in male rats, and rare renal carcinomas and combined carcinomas and adenomas in male mice.” However, even though furfuryl alcohol proved to be carcinogenic in two different species of rodents in a two year study, the study was performed using inhalation, rather than oral exposure. Therefore, the results may not be particularly relevant for furfuryl alcohol exposure from food.

> Furfuryl alcohol in food is either naturally present or present as the result of an act of man such as in the baking of bread or roasting of coffee, which produces furfuryl alcohol as the result of the Maillard reaction. Furfuryl alcohol has been found both as naturally present and as an act of man in wheat and white bread, crispbread, coffee, black tea, microbial fermented tea, soybean, fresh plum, heated beans, rice bran, quince, malt, peated malt, Bourbon vanilla, wild rice, fermented shrimp, roasted almonds, cooked apple, apple juice, roasted barley, beans, beef fat, canned beef stew, beer, brandy, cocoa, cocoa beans, coffee, roasted coffee, roasted filberts, honey, heated skim milk, dried mushrooms, roasted onion, yellow passion fruit, roasted peanuts, pineapple, popcorn, potato chips, roasted sesame seeds and other foods.[4]

>As an added food ingredient, furfuryl alcohol (often made from roasted corn cobs or sugar cane bagasse) is used as a flavoring agent to contribute brown, subtly smoky notes to Indonesian-type vanilla flavors, bacon and other smoked meats, lapsang souchong tea, whiskey, grain, coffee and barbecue flavors.[5]

>referring to foods and beverages as rocket fuel was a meme
>white castle decides to make food with actual rocket fuel
I was almost curious enough to try these, but didn't even bother looking at the back label because I knew it'd be a shitshow. That's pretty damned funny, though.

>>19483924
>What the FUCK did they mean by this?
everything you eat is bioengineered and has been for the last several hundred years.

>>19490063
see >>19490046
It's a natural occurring thing in bread products unless manually removed.

>>19490086
We know California labeling is retarded. It's still funny because it's exactly why people call strong coffee rocket fuel. I did expect them to have an exemption level for this kind of labeling, but they're even more retarded than I thought.

>>19490046
I’ll show you an act of man

it's cancer

>>19483924
everything causes cancer in california, but apparently not the homeless population that is pissing on the street and consuming every street drug known to mankind.

>>19484782
Prop 65 is probably the stupidest implementation of a warning on a label ever introduced.

It is not the dose, which is what matters. It is if the product contains, which is stupid. There are carcinogenic chemicals which exist in the ground and are naturally occurring.

You could argue that the person who reads the label has no understanding and that to provide the dose you are receiving per serving may be too hard for the general public to grasp, industry has to give up trade secrets, not enough research to actually tell you what gives cancer in what dose BUT THAT IS WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS. So by everything being labeled with a prop 65 warning it's pointless and doesn't actually help consumer pick out what should be safe.

>>19490377
>everything being labeled with a prop 65 warning it's pointless and doesn't actually help consumer pick out what should be safe.

on face value it helped me realize california politics is retarded. the fact that something like that even passed where you can just wave your hand over all products sold in the store and claim its bad and unhealthy. it is atrocious behavior and needs ot be corrected if you want me to take california seriously.

I sleep on the floor as I couldn't find any beds that didn't have a Prop 65 label

>>19490046
Oh, ok then. Thanks for the informative post. But to be fair:
In an American food products the first thought always is (and sadly, rightfully so) that something inedible/toxic has been added because it’s makes the end product .5c cheaper and thus makes the manufacturer more profit, which of course easily beats any consumer protection (you fuckers add bromates to your bread. WTF is wrong with you sick fucks?).
>>19490353
Well, they’re fully organic and free range, you see. Absolutely natural!

>>19490683
Not including the dosage is criminal. Prop 65 sucks ass. Water can kill you in high dose within short time span. This shit is all relative, but most humans are too stupid to realize that anyway i guess.

>>19490377
This is what i tell people. Maybe if you had 10,000 white castle sliders every day you could get cancer from it.

>>19483924
Americans don't have real food

>>19490686
Putting my n some things, no matter the dosage, is criminal too.
I get your point and California went full retard on that one, but for American food, the default assumption should be that the corporation making the stuff is trying to kill you on purpose, because it’s makes them more money and they’re allowed to do so by law and Americans like it that way (must be a freedom thing …).

>>19491153
>no matter the dosage, is criminal too.
Do you also think modern medicine is criminal? Quite literally every pill, vax, med even painkillers are all deadly if misused. Food ingredients are no different.

Where are you buying this deadly food? And what are you buying that gives you this impression?

>>19491153
>the corporation making the stuff is trying to kill you on purpose
>corporation relies on loyal customer to make money
>money is what gives corporation power in society
>anon thinks corporation is trying to kill off loyal customers

I think you're onto something. Corporations are trying to balance the world by lessening their power in it.
