The next four years of federal leadership on food and health could bring changes to the packaging materials allowed in the U.S. marketplace.
While people associated with the new administration have not spoken directly about packaging, there are possible hints coming from figures such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy’s concerns about food additives and other chemicals could extend to packaging: “I wouldn’t be surprised to see a major overhaul of chemicals or products that have been in use for a long time,” he said. “Now there’s a new interest in reevaluating what might otherwise be considered settled science when it comes to certain food packaging materials.”
Future actions could include changes that address certain substances, as well as changes in procedures, which would likely require additional resources at the federal food agency (FDA).
