Let’s demand safer chemical policies

Hi John,

This week, in partnership with the Mind the Store campaign, we released a report card scoring major retailers across North America on their safer chemical policies and actions to reduce exposure to toxic chemicals of concern. These include bisphenols, phthalates, and PFAS that are often added to single-use plastics, grease-proof containers, food cans and thermal paper receipts.

Five retail companies in Canada- Metro, Sobeys, Burger King, Popeye's and Tim Hortons- received an F grade for failing to develop public policies to address toxic chemicals in the products or food packaging they sell.

Hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals are added to the consumer products and packaging we use every day. Tell Metro, Sobeys, Burger King, Popeye's and Tim Hortons to protect their customers by adopting safer chemical policies.

In the last year, many retail chains announced new or expanded safer chemical policies. Let’s make sure Metro, Sobeys, Burger King, Popeye’s and Tim Hortons follow suit.

Sincerely, 

P.S. Our work to kick out toxics is not possible without your support. Please support our campaign with a donation. Thanks in advance for all your help!
