Denmark has reportedly passed a law that will ban per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from cardboard and paper used for
food packaging. "These substances represent such a health
problem that we can no longer wait for the EU," Denmark's
food minister is quoted as saying. Recycled paper may continue to
be used if the PFAS compounds are separated from food with a
barrier. PFAS compounds have come under scrutiny in both the
United States and
Europe as agencies research the effects of consuming the
substances.
