I’m writing to urge you to co-sponsor the Keep Food Containers Safe From PFAS Act (S. 3169/H.R. 6026), the bill to ban PFAS chemicals in food packaging. I understand that these synthetic chemicals have been linked to serious health problems including a weaker immune system and cancer. And I understand that producing the chemicals and packaging can contaminate the drinking water for the communities surrounding factories.
Seven states and eighteen major retailers have already said these chemicals don’t belong in the food we eat or the water we drink. Please protect families by making sure Congress bans PFAS from all food contact materials. Thanks.
