Summary
The bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to declare specific chemicals—such as ortho‑phthalates, PFAS, bisphenols, and several others—unsafe for use in materials that contact food. It would ban these substances in food packaging nationwide, while allowing states to adopt stricter rules if they wish. The changes would take effect two years after the law is enacted.
