About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · September 24, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
This bill would prohibit food packaging that intentionally contains PFAS (a class of man-made chemicals known as "forever chemicals") from being sold across state lines in the United States. The prohibition would apply to manufacturers and sellers of food containers and would be enforced under federal food safety laws. The ban takes effect on January 1, 2028, giving companies about 16 months from the bill's introduction to reformulate their packaging products. This legislation affects food manufacturers, packaging suppliers, and ultimately consumers concerned about chemical exposure through food containers. The bill does not specify any new funding requirements or federal agency resources needed to implement the ban.
