Subject Line: Urgent action needed to protect food

Body: Dear FDA Officials,

I’m writing to urge you to protect our food from chemical contamination that endangers public health every single day by taking the following actions:

  • Close the “generally recognized as safe loophole” that industry uses to self-certify safety of new additives in secret.
  • Grant pending petitions addressing cumulative effects of chemicals added to food, banning ortho-phthalates in food contact articles, and banning lead as an additive to food handling equipment.
  • Revoke remaining approvals for per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in food packaging and food service ware.
  • Reassess the safety of existing chemical additives to food.

Can I count on you to act now to modernize and strengthen the FDA’s safety evaluation process for food chemicals, and take the bold actions listed above to protect our food and the public’s health?

By taking action, you’ll also receive Environmental Working Group, Environmental Defense Fund, Consumer Reports, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, Healthy Babies Bright Futures, Earth Justice and Defend Our Health email updates, tips, action alerts and promotions to support our work. You can opt-out at any time.
