Doing 2 at a time, even if per year, will take over 2,500 years. Just the one #PFOA (and not long after #PFOS) has been on the EPA radar for 18 YEARS. And still no regs. Helluva plan to protect public health on chemicals known to cause cancer...🙄#PFAS

Wow. A representative from DuPont spinoff Chemours just testified that DuPont designed the deal so it would have somewhere to "dump its liabilities." #PFAS

Taken as a whole, the papers show that both industry and regulators understood the extraordinary toxicity of many chemical products and worked together to conceal this information from the public.

Plastic, paper and bamboo are only few of the many materials food is in contact with. But they may leach chemicals into our food and ultimately in our bodies.
EU rules provide insufficient protection: it's time to repackage food safely. Our view: bit.ly/38QKCyC
