Toxic chemicals found in food packaging: FDA under pressure to take action

New studies reveal thousands of toxic chemicals in food packaging, exposing a major public health risk largely ignored by the FDA. With chemicals like BPA and PFAS leaching into our food, linked to cancer, birth defects, and heart disease, pressure is mounting on the FDA to overhaul its outdated chemical safety system. Despite years of warnings and legal pressure, the agency has yet to act, leaving consumers vulnerable to dangerous substances in everyday food packaging. Immediate action is needed to protect public health and prevent further harm.
