I wonder if death certificates eventually will show food chemicals as the source of demise. Seriously though, I am wondering how much of the PFAS attaches and clings to the food. Is it on the surface of the wrappers and boxes, or does it have to be released through tearing or destruction? Does it attach to hands or eating utensils, or is it contained in the wrappers? I don't patronize any of the named restaurants, but I'm wondering about other fast food restaurants, and especially take out from eat-in restaurants, and wonder if they use the same supplier as Wendy's, McDonald's and the others. walkswithblackflies, I don't suppose rinsing your work stash food would purify it? Are there any counteracting agents? Vitamins, especially?

Talking about this reminds of a movie from last year called "Dark Waters".... the games that these corporations play are unbelievable but I'm sure most here understand this already. It just amazed me that DuPont is paying out in these cases... if you can get your case to trial that is. www.imdb.com/title/tt9071322/

Seriously though, I am wondering how much of the PFAS attaches and clings to the food. Is it on the surface of the wrappers and boxes, or does it have to be released through tearing or destruction? Does it attach to hands or eating utensils, or is it contained in the wrappers? It is added to the containers because it acts as a kind of wax. So I'd think the more the container gets saturated, the more potential transfer to the food. I don't patronize any of the named restaurants, but I'm wondering about other fast food restaurants, and especially take out from eat-in restaurants, and wonder if they use the same supplier as Wendy's, McDonald's and the others. It appears all the compostable containers/wrappers currently are made in the same fashion, so I'd assume this is industry-wide... it's just that they haven't tested containers/wrappers from Chick-Fil-A, etc. walkswithblackflies, I don't suppose rinsing your work stash food would purify it? Are there any counteracting agents? Vitamins, especially? My work stash is frozen meals, so I assume the ingredients are already frozen when they're placed in the container (i.e. - chance of transfer to the food is low). I'm gonna try to simply remove the food from the container and place in a regular bowl before heating. My only concern is that they are covered with a special venting film (over the top of the container), so I hope it will still cook correctly in a bowl. If not, I'll try cooking in a glass container that has a lid.
