McDonald's recently announced it would be getting rid of toxic PFAS chemicals from its packaging by 2025, and environmental advocates and health experts are applauding the chain's decision. In fact, they are urging other national fast-food companies to follow the burger giant's example and make the same pledge.
The announcement by McDonald's came after a study, conducted by environmental advocacy groups Toxic-Free Future and Mind the Store, found high levels of the PFAS toxin in food wrappers and containers used at some of the country's biggest fast-food chains, including McDonald's and Burger King. These chemicals in fast-food packaging can end up harming consumers' health by leaching into the food, and will ultimately harm the environment by polluting the soil after the packaging is discarded.
