Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Keep Food Containers Safe from PFAS Act of 2026

Key claim: HR9593 would restrict PFAS chemicals in food containers and was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce in July 2026.

Abstract

(HR9593 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-06): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

PFAS restrictions in food containers directly affect food manufacturers and packagers who must reformulate materials, with potential pass-through cost effects on consumers and food prices. The bill adds to a growing 2026 legislative cluster (HR9231, S4724) targeting food-contact chemicals through the House Energy and Commerce Committee, signaling sustained federal interest in packaging chemical safety even as no bill has advanced past introduction.
