TPCH Issues Strategy Guide for PFAS in Food Packaging
The Toxic in Packaging Clearinghouse (TPCH) has published a guide outlining strategies for ensuring compliance to PFAS in food packaging laws across the United States. In the absence of defined limits and test methods in most states, the strategies include testing for total fluorine, total organic fluorine and/or specific PFAS, investigating test results with suppliers, and requesting certificates of compliance (CoC) or declarations from suppliers and manufacturers.
Each TPCH member state must adopt the model legislation into law in their state. States that have adopted laws to date have only included certain types of food packaging for PFAS restrictions.
