13 Dec 2021 --- The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is being sued by eight environmental and human health organizations for failing to ban phthalate chemicals from F&B packaging, despite years of research proving its danger to human and environmental health. The legal action comes after more than five years of petitioning against the FDA to enact legislation outlawing the chemicals. Phthalates are used to increase plastic packaging’s flexibility, durability and longevity – but their dangers have so far been ignored by US policy.
