Burger and Fries, Hold the PFAS

Burger and Fries, Hold the PFAS

On this webinar, learn more about CR’s recent investigation of PFAS in food packaging at national fast-food chains and grocery stores. PFAS are toxic chemicals often used in food packaging to make it grease- and water-resistant, and they’ve been linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems. Our experts shared the results of our testing, talked about recent legislative and corporate actions to end the use of PFAS in food wrappers, and explored what you can do to reduce your exposure and advocate for change.

Additionally, here are links to the resources shared during the webinar:
