Manufacturers will no longer use harmful"forever chemicals" in food packaging products in the U.S., according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration .
"This FDA-led effort represents a positive step forward as we continue to reevaluate chemicals authorized for use with, and in, food," Jones said."It underscores an important milestone in the protection of U.S. consumers from potentially harmful food-contact chemicals.
The FDA's February announcement is several years in the making. As an initial step in 2020, the agency announced that it was working with manufacturers to voluntarily phase out the use of certain PFAS in food packaging, such as grease-proofing agents on paper and paperboard products. The goal was to phase out these products within three years.
