Hazardous chemicals in your pizza box? Petition asks FDA to ban them.

U.S. manufacturers stopped using a hazardous chemical in pizza boxes and other food wrappers three years ago — but it may still be seeping into your takeout food. That’s because foreign companies can still use perchlorate and perfluorocarboxylates (PFCs) – which can cause permanent brain damage in infants – in paper products that are imported into the United States. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/federal-eye/wp/2014/10/16/hazardous-chemicals-in-your-pizza-box-petition-asks-fda-to-ban-them/
