PFAS in Food Packaging — What You Need to Know
Forever chemicals are leaching from food packaging into your meals.
The invisible contamination
PFAS — per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — are synthetic chemicals used to make food packaging grease-resistant. They appear in fast food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, pizza boxes, and takeout containers. These chemicals do not break down, earning them the name forever chemicals.
Studies have detected PFAS in the blood of 98 percent of Americans tested.
What PFAS do to your body
PFAS exposure has been linked to thyroid disruption, immune system suppression, increased cholesterol, liver damage, and certain cancers. Children are particularly vulnerable.
The challenge is that PFAS are not listed on ingredient labels. They are part of the packaging, not the food itself.
