Are Bradley Bisquettes approved and safe to use?

Do they have an approved seal on a bag of charcoal? ;D

Hey guys,

Well thanks for all the info! I appreciate your input!

I'm still wondering about one thing though. On the bisquette packaging there is no approved seal.

Shouldn't they have one?

No. All smoke produces some carcinogen, but it is minimal. The lower the temperature it burns the less carcinogen; flare up from grease is not needed to produce these carcinogen, but these flare ups do increase the amount produced. There is no current FDA or USDA need for approval. The warning is strictly a California regulation.

Smoke; whether it be from the Bradley, or a charcoal or wood burning pit, will contain some carcinogens. The Federal government and most states do not require you to issue that warning; so the risk is minimal. That warning is required in California, but that put that warning on almost any product sold in that state.

California...how odd??? :D :D :D

Sorry LQ; but you have to admit; it seems everything that is purchased has a warning for California residents. But to follow that through, you must be the healthiest state, by far. :)

Quoteit seems everything that is purchased has a warning for California residents.

I must admit as a foreigner landing on American soil for the first time for a holiday in 1996 it scared the hell out of me when I saw this warning on many of the things I wanted to buy.

But after talking to the locals (Florida) I soon learnt to ignore it and on subsequentt visits have paid no attention to it. ::)

Hey guys...Cali is crazy odd...(I can say that cause I live here) I'm not sure Habs that we are any healthier (with the hideous smog areas) then people who live...well...anywhere outside a metro area...As I live in the desert...what we have is fine...fine... sand that blows...it it way worse for your lungs then smog...so as much as Cali's do the warnings and "what not" on labels...other then paying more for everything...we don't have a leg up on anybody for anything really...but we can spend money we don't have...that's for damn sure!!! (Can ya tell I grew up in Florida???)

I love the desert...but I got transferred here..."The OC" is better...as long as you have a beemer!!! :o
