HEAL: Chemicals in food packaging can impact people’s health: We need more protective regulation

Nobody should ever have to worry about toxic substances making their way into our food.

Here are nine fact cards to illustrate why we are concerned.

To illustrate how chemicals in food wrappings can impact people’s health, HEAL developed an infographic and a set of fact cards, available for download. To read more about our campaign on food contact materials, click here.
