California officially gives its blessing to coffee, declaring the beverage does not post a significant cancer risk, despite containing a chemical listed by the state as being carcinogenic.

Signs did not initially have to list chemicals by name, resulting in potentially vague warnings in areas where people might encounter vehicle exhaust, including Disneyland. However, a ruling in August 2018 required warning signs to be more specific.

Foods affected include potato chips and French fries, canned black olives, roasted nuts, toast — and roasted coffee beans. We drink it in the morning, we drink it at night, and we even have dedicated tables for the thing. But how much do you know about your cup of joe? Test your knowledge with this quiz."This is a great day for science and coffee lovers," said William Murray, president and chief executive of the National Coffee Association USA.

The NCA had challenged the 2018 court ruling, releasing a statement saying:"The US Government's own dietary guidelines state that coffee can be part of a healthy lifestyle."
