Summary
The No Toxic Chemicals in Food Packaging Act adds a new safety list to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, declaring specific substances—such as ortho‑phthalates, PFAS, bisphenols, and several others—unsafe for any material that contacts food. It applies nationwide after a two‑year delay and lets states keep or adopt stricter rules. The goal is to protect consumers, especially vulnerable groups, from harmful chemical exposure.
