Wendy's to remove potentially harmful chemicals from food packaging
Fox News
Wendy’s is banning per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from consumer-facing food packaging.
Wendy's announced the news in its 2020 Corporate Responsibility Report, released last week. According to the memo, the chain famous for its square burgers is moving towards the "full elimination" of the PFAS from consumer-facing packaging in the two North American countries by the end of this year. In August 2020, environmental advocacy groups Toxic-Free Future and Mind the Store released the findings of independent lab tests of fast food packaging. The test reportedly found toxic levels of PFAS (a group of man-made chemicals composed of non-biodegradable linked carbon and fluorine atoms) in some Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and Burger King food packaging.More Related News
