No Toxics in Food Packaging Act of 2023

HR 6105, the No Toxics in Food Packaging Act of 2023, prohibits the use of specific chemicals in food packaging by deeming them unsafe under existing law. It directly bans ortho-phthalates (like DEHP and DBP), PFAS, certain bisphenols (including BPA), styrene, and antimony trioxide in all food contact materials. The bill requires the FDA to consider vulnerable populations - such as infants, pregnant women, and workers - when evaluating alternative substances. The ban takes effect two years after the bill's enactment. This law primarily affects food manufacturers, packaging producers, and the FDA's regulatory oversight of food contact substances.
