Ultra-Processed Food & Plastics: A Toxic Relationship
April 30 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
- Folks who worked on the Packaging Reduction bill last session may remember the infamous “cheese debate,” wherein a certain food manufacturer claimed that PRRIA would take away individually plastic-wrapped cheese product slices. While it seems obvious that replacing plastic cheese wrappers with parchment paper to separate slices will reduce waste, there’s another aspect of the cheese debate that we want to bring to the public’s attention.
