Imagine biting into a juicy burger, only to find out that the wrapper it came in contains harmful chemicals that could potentially contaminate your body. That’s the concern being raised as pressure mounts to remove PFAS, a toxic industrial compound, from fast food wrappers. Just like how we strive to eat food that nourishes our bodies instead of harming them, we should also demand packaging that is safe and free from harmful substances. PFAS has been found to contaminate drinking water in communities, posing a risk to human health. As more awareness is raised about this issue, companies like McDonald’s and Burger King are facing increasing calls to take action and find alternative packaging materials. It’s important for us to support these efforts and advocate for safer food packaging options. By exploring the underlying research on PFAS and its impact on human health, we can make informed decisions and contribute to a safer, healthier future.
Brenda Hampton first came across the toxic industrial compound PFAS after finding it was part of the cocktail of contaminants that tainted the drinking water in her North Alabama community.
