On February 28, 2024, the FDA announced the complete cessation of sales of PFAS-containing grease-proofing materials for use in food packaging in the U.S. market. According to the FDA, the announcement was the culmination of voluntary commitments from manufacturers obtained in 2020 to phase out the use of PFAS chemicals in food packaging paper and paperboard.

The completion of the voluntary market phase-out of these substances used on food packaging paper and paperboard, eliminates the primary source of dietary exposure to PFAS from authorized food contact uses.
