Hi everyone!
I’ve been exploring the impact of food packaging on our health and came across some intriguing information about PFAS (often called “forever chemicals”) used in certain food packaging materials. These chemicals are often added to make packaging greaseproof or water-resistant but they’ve also raised concerns about potential health risks and environmental impact.
For instance, I recently learned about how PFAS can transfer into the foods we eat, especially hot or greasy foods. It made me rethink how I store leftovers or choose takeout containers. Do any of you consciously avoid specific types of packaging? Or have you found any sustainable alternatives?
I came across an article that breaks down the issue really well and offers insights into safer practices. If you’re interested, here’s the link: PFAS in Food Packaging.
Would love to hear your thoughts or tips for avoiding harmful packaging! Let’s share and learn together.
