On December 4, 2015, California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added "Aloe vera, non-decolorized whole leaf extract" and goldenseal root powder to the state's list of chemicals known to cause cancer.
Editor's Note: FDA sent Health Breakthrough International a warning letter for several alleged cGMP violations for several aloe products, including not conducting at least one appropriate test to verify identity, not establishing the reliability of the supplier's certificate of analysis through confirmation of the results of their tests, and failing to identify on the label the part of the plant used. The company was also warned for not having written procedures for calibrating the scale or reviewing and approving components, labels, packaging, or finished product for distribution.
