The FDA has not updated food chemical oversight in decades. In response, states have passed laws banning toxic chemicals in food and food packaging. Congress is now considering proposals that would preempt those state protections, reversing important progress for public health, consumer trust, and supply-chain stability. Businesses that produce safe, trustworthy food depend on state and local protections when federal leadership falls short.
If your company produces food or drink products, we ask you to join this letter urging Congress to reject federal preemption and preserve the ability of states to act when federal oversight falls short.
