California AB 899
Provide clear, batch-level heavy metals disclosures for baby food products through an easy digital lookup.
What is California AB 899?
California AB 899 requires manufacturers of baby food products to make heavy metals testing results publicly accessible. The law is intended to improve transparency for parents and caregivers by ensuring information about lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury is easy to find and clearly presented for covered products.
Who it Applies to and When
The requirements apply to manufacturers of baby food products sold in California, regardless of where the manufacturer is based. The law focuses on disclosure and accessibility of testing results, rather than prescribing how testing is conducted or requiring changes to product formulations or packaging formats.
How Orijin Plus supports AB 899 readiness
Orijin Plus supports brands preparing for these requirements through a connected packaging platform that manages batch-level product data and compliant consumer disclosures from a single system.
Batch and lot-level test result linking
Orijin Plus allows brands to upload heavy metals test results and certifications and link them directly to the correct batch or lot. This ensures disclosures are accurate, specific, and aligned to the product a consumer is holding.
Instant QR code access to batch-level disclosures
A single, constant QR code on packaging can be used to power an easy consumer lookup experience. Consumers enter or select the batch code printed on the product to view the relevant test results, keeping the experience clear, accessible, and compliant.
Centralised batch certification repository
Orijin Plus provides a structured repository for managing batch-level reports and certifications. This makes it simple for brands to maintain, update, and publish the right documents to the right batches without manual workarounds or fragmented systems.
