At Aramco Imports, Inc., we place the highest importance on maintaining product safety and ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements. Pursuant to California Assembly Bill No. 1200 (AB1200), manufacturers of cookware must make certain disclosures about their products where chemicals are intentionally added, and present in the handle of the product or on any product surface that comes into contact with food.

California Assembly Bill No. 1200 (AB1200)

The cookware disclosure requirement of California AB1200 is found in the California Health & Safety Code beginning in Section 109010. As of January 1, 2024, manufacturers of cookware sold in the state containing one or more intentionally added chemicals from a designated list of chemicals are required to identify those chemicals on the product label. The law also requires, beginning January 1, 2023, cookware manufacturers to identify such chemicals on its website.
