Join the fight for safe food

Too often our food contains harmful chemicals from processing, packaging, or preparation—because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has refused to act and corporations have failed to prioritize the health of their customers.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Safer chemical alternatives are widely available, now.

We envision a healthy future where all children and families have access to safe food to eat, free of toxic industrial chemicals.

Scientists, doctors and nurses are raising the alarm

“A swiftly growing body of research tells us that industrial chemicals found in food may be contributing to rising rates of disability and disease,” said Dr. Leonardo Trasande, MD, MPP, lead author of a 2018 Academy of American Pediatrics policy statement that sounded the alarm about toxic chemicals in food.

For the sake of our health, big food brands and the government urgently need to clean up the U.S. food supply.

Hear from scientists, doctors and nurses as they speak out against the harm caused by toxic phthalates.

“In my research, I discovered that dining out and eating fast food is linked to higher exposure to phthalates,” said Dr. Ami Zota, ScD, MS, of the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University. “My research has also found that African-American and Latino communities may be particularly vulnerable to phthalate exposures from processed and packaged food. We must do better for all children and families, and eliminate sources of phthalates that could contaminate food.”

“My research has also found that African-American and Latino communities may be particularly vulnerable to phthalate exposures from processed and packaged food.”
