Friend, after 30 years of advocacy, the FDA finally banned Red Dye No. 3 from our food – but dozens of harmful chemicals are still allowed.

This is a step forward, but it’s not enough. The FDA still allows toxic chemicals in our food and packaging – chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive harm and immune system damage.

Will you join us in telling the FDA that toxic chemicals have no place in your pantry?

Here are just a few of the toxic chemicals we need to see banned:

 
 
• 
PFAS – “forever chemicals” linked to cancer and heart disease but allowed in food manufacturing and cookware.
• 
BPA – banned in many nations, such as the European Union and Canada, for its well-documented harms to immune and reproductive health. But the FDA continues to allow it.
• 
Titanium dioxide – The EU blocks food companies from using titanium dioxide because of concerns it can build up in the body and damage DNA. But the FDA insists it’s safe in food.
 
 

Check out the complete list and tell the FDA to ban all health-harming chemicals in food now!

We can’t wait decades for change. The more people who speak up, the more pressure we put on the FDA to act. It takes just one minute to sign, and every signature counts.

 
 
 
 
 
 

We appreciate you for taking the time to speak out, friend. The stakes couldn’t be higher.
