According to the Food and Drug Administration, coatings for food packaging no longer contain per polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) compounds.  This includes wrappers for QSR servings, microwave popcorn bags and paper-board containers.

In recent years, the potential toxicity of PFAS compounds has been documented. PFAS compounds have been extensively used as a coating for cookware, food packaging and food processing installations has been recognized.

The FDA announcement is a tribute to the voluntary commitment by manufacturers to eliminate PFAS as a grease-proofing coating on food packaging.
