05 May 2022 --- McDonald’s and Burger King are facing class-action lawsuits in the US for using PFAS chemicals in their packaging. The fast-food chains are accused of fraud, misrepresentation and false advertising for claiming the food they serve is safe. However, no specific examples of consumer harm are included in the lawsuits. In March, Consumer Reports tested more than 100 packaging products from 24 large US restaurant chains and grocery stores, finding nearly half had at least one product with high PFAS levels in some items, including Arby’s, Burger King, Cava, Chick-fil-A, McDonald’s, Nathan’s and Sweetgreen.
