Plastic packaging isn’t just bad for the planet — it’s killing people too. In 2018 alone, phthalates, toxic chemicals used to make plastics soft and flexible, were linked to over 350,000 heart disease deaths. These “everywhere chemicals” are leaching into our food and drinks, disrupting hormones, and raising risks of infertility, ADHD, and deadly heart conditions.
Despite overwhelming evidence, the U.S. FDA still allows nine different phthalates in food packaging. And while wealthier nations profit, developing countries suffer — importing our plastic waste and enduring its toxic legacy.
We can’t stay silent while dangerous chemicals poison our bodies and devastate the environment. It’s time to demand safer, chemical-free alternatives.
Sign the petition now to urge the FDA to ban phthalates from food packaging. Sign now to protect public health, animal life, and our planet.
