McDonald s Is Being Praised By Health Advocates for Making This Change © Provided by Eat This, Not That! mcdonalds exterior and drive thru 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.

McDonald s sets 2025 goal for further reduction in packaging toxins

“We’re proud to take another step in our product stewardship journey with our commitment to remove all added fluorinated compounds from our guest packaging materials globally by 2025,” the company said in an emailed statement Thursday. McDonald’s said that in 2008 it eliminated long chain PFAS, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), from all guest packaging globally. Between 2013 and 2015, the company eliminated bisphenol A, or BPA, and phthalate chemicals from its packaging. The fluorinated chemicals have come under increasing scrutiny for their impact on the environment and the body. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are a family of about 5,000 man-made organic chemicals used in non-stick cookware, fabric stain-protective coatings, fast-food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, personal care products and firefighting foams.
