(WHDH) — The State of California is issuing a word of warning about coffee.
The Wall Street Journal reported that a state judge in Los Angeles is expected to decide whether coffee should be labeled as carcinogenic.
The debate is around a chemical produced during the roasting process, which is one of 900 on a state list of chemicals known to cause cancer.
If coffee is labeled a cancer risk, Californians could see warning labels on every cup.
