Demand Toxic-Free Fast Food

Do you think families deserve food that doesn’t come wrapped in harmful chemicals?

The fact is, toxic chemicals are entering our food supply through processing and packaging. And they pose significant health risks, particularly to pregnant women and children.

Many fast food wrappers and take-out containers are coated with toxic ‘forever chemicals’ known as PFAS—per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

PFAS are found in packaging such as bakery bags, microwave popcorn bags, and fast food wrappers. PFAS have been linked to interfering with normal brain development in children, as well as to certain cancers.

In our home state of Maine, Defend Our Health Action played a critical role in advocating for passage of the nation's most comprehensive law banning toxic chemicals in food packaging. Read all about it here.
