📦 Food Packaging 📦
What's in Your Food Packaging?
🥡 Many food packages contain synthetic chemicals like PFAS and plasticizers.
🧪 These substances migrate into food, especially when heated or stored long-term.
Common Leaching Chemicals
🧴 PFAS (forever chemicals) are used for grease resistance in wrappers and containers.
🔬 Phthalates and BPA are used in plastic containers and linings.
🧷 Microplastics can break off from packaging and contaminate food.
🍽️ These chemicals are not always visible or listed on packaging.
Protecting Yourself
🍱 Avoid heating food in plastic containers or wrapping.
🍱 Buy fresh, non-processed food when possible and wash before eating.
🥗 Choose processed food packed in glass or paper when possible.
♻️ Support brands that use sustainable, non-toxic packaging.
