Staying on top of the legal and policy developments in the PFAS arena is no small task. As a special service to our members, the Environmental Law Institute provides a monthly series of webinars with co-authors of the PFAS Deskbook, James Pollack and Isabel Carey, and national experts on PFAS to keep you up to date, answer your questions, and highlight a unique topic related to PFAS during each session.
PFAS are frequently used in cookware, food packaging, and food processing due to their non-stick and grease, oil, and water-resistant properties. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a voluntary phaseout of PFAS across certain grease proofing applications in food packaging. Meanwhile, food packaging and cookware have become subject to a complex patchwork of state regulations. Some states, such as New York and California, have banned PFAS in paper-based food packaging, while other states focus on food packaging more broadly. Moreover, cookware disclosure and prohibition laws have been adopted in California and Colorado. At this month’s PFAS briefing, learn about the implications of PFAS in food products and cookware, as well as potential upcoming regulatory action at the state and federal levels.
