An agreement was approved and entered into the California Superior Court on February 1 between 30 member companies of the Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3 (GOED), Salt Lake City, UT, and the Mateel Environmental Justice Foundation giving these companies operating certainty around Proposition 65 limits for dioxins, furans, PCBs and dioxin-like PCBs in products with EPA and DHA omega 3s. California had not previously set reproductive toxicity exposure limits for these compounds, or clarified how PCBs were to be measured for compliance with the state’s warning label law.

In addition, GOED previously reached an agreement with Chris Manthey and Benson Chiles, founders of FishOilSafety.com, that assures these plaintiffs will not start any new lawsuits against GOED member companies whose products meet the agreement's standards. This agreement also requires GOED to perform testing of product pulled from California retail shelves as well as to incorporate the settlement's standards into the GOED Voluntary Monograph.

The settlement's PCB standards are similar to what already exists in the standards GOED requires of its members.

To avoid triggering Prop 65 warning requirements in California, consumer products also need to make sure that total exposure of PCBs from the labeled dosage is less than 0.09mg (90ng).
