Hi all have been looking at different brands of ghee to cook with, found this brand which I liked the look of but on the website under other details it has a proposition 65 warning label about lead and cancer
Obviously this is a food item and is something I will be eating, so should I still order this ghee or look for another brand without this warning label?

Everything has a prop 65 label. It’s a terribly designed piece of legislation.
According to the state of California everything is a cancer risk. It’s legislature that was written so broad that it is literally worse than useless. Ignore it and move on.
~~I don’t see the warning on it. The jar is pictured from multiple angles, would be difficult to miss.~~ Nonetheless, even drinks that are hot cause cancer and would probably be labeled with the Proposition 65 warning in California. Drinks that are 140F and above can cause esophageal cancer.
Edit: It’s in the product details. It says it has lead and lead compounds. I’d be apprehensive.
California would stick that label on the air if they could. Buy away.
If another brand doesn’t have a Proposition 65 warning, all that means is they don’t intend to sell it in California.
I literally have a copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a Prop 65 warning.
As everyone said, prop 65 is pretty vague. So for example it could be if you were to eat 100 of the plastic rings on the ghee, you’d get cancer, supposedly. It’s basically a nationwide meme at this point.
the coffee, the bananas, the coffee cups, the microwave oven, the plates, the headphones, etc I got, all had prop 65 warning on them.
It means nothing.
My apartment has a prop 65 warning. Disneyland has a prop 65 warning. Many many things I own have prop 65 warnings.
It’s fine. (*most of the time)
