Reducing PFAS in Our Food

Reducing PFAS in Our Food

PFAS, the abbreviation for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, contaminate our food from some pizza boxes, plastic takeout packages, non-stick cookware, and other sources. As long as they are permitted in the food-supply chain, consumers should take measures to reduce their levels in our foods. That may include such measures as cooking with different frying pans and spatulas to removing takeout food from plastic containers promptly and not storing those foods in those containers, and eating fresh foods that never touched plastics.
