  • 1.  Seeking PFAS-Free Food Packaging Supplier Recommendations

    Posted 08-04-2025 07:04 AM

    Hi everyone - I'm not a packaging expert, but I'm working on a shelf-stable food product and looking to learn from the pros here.

    I'm trying to find suppliers (have come across only one so far) that offer sustainable, PFAS-free, food-safe packaging, ideally also free of BPA and phthalates. Any recommendations or tips on where to start would be so appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    Amna, what type of packaging materials are you researching?

    That information would be helpful to determine the suppliers best suited for your request.

    Thank you,

    Hi Mr. Stepowany,

    Thank you so much for your message. My product will be snack bars, so I am researching both primary and secondary packaging - specifically, flow wrap (flexible film) for the bars themselves and folding cartons or possibly rigid boxes for secondary packaging. I'm especially interested in materials with strong barrier properties and a premium appearance (ideally PFAS, phthalate, and BPA-free).

    I truly appreciate your willingness to help and look forward to hearing your recommendations.

    Warm regards,
    Amna

    Amna, I have a few suppliers that have provided compliance information on PFAS.

    I will send them to you at your email address.

    Glad I could help you out. 

    Thank you,

    See the attached communication that GPI send to its customers. 

    Amcor has a similar communication but they only send it to customer in response to a specific question. 

    Thank you,
