McDonald’s Global issued a statement to CTVNews.ca Thursday afternoon stating, “We’ve eliminated significant subset classes of PFASs from McDonald’s food packaging across the world.

“We will work with our suppliers to remove them from all packaging by or, where feasible, earlier than the three years recommended by the FDA.” “We are looking forward to extending our safe ingredients policy to include the removal of the short-term PFAS recently identified by the FDA,” read a statement sent by email. “Freshii intends to roll out these PFAS-free bowls in the early part of 2021, if not before,” a company spokesperson told CTVNews.ca by email.Ī spokesperson for Restaurant Brands International, which represents Burger King in Canada, also said the burger chain is working to remove PFAS from its packaging. In a statement to CTVNews.ca, Freshii confirmed it is in the final stages of transitioning its pulp bowls to a version that is fully PFAS-free. No Canadian samples were taken as part of the study.

in January 2020 and were analyzed in February 2020 at an independent lab. Samples were collected at food chains around New York City, Seattle, Wa., and Washington, D.C. Mediterranean chain Cava and salad chain Sweetgreen. The report also tested packaging from U.S. Paper cartons or clamshells for French fries and fried chicken pieces sold at McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s tested below the screening level. However, not all of the tested wrappings contained these dangerous chemicals. Paper bags sampled included a French fry bag from McDonald’s, a chicken nuggets bag from Burger King, and cookie bags from all three burger chains. The study, conducted in partnership with environmental advocacy groups Toxic-Free Future and Mind the Store, found that paper bags and molded fiber bowls and trays were most frequently found to potentially contain PFAS. “Even the most seemingly harmless type of waste from take-out and fast food contains alarming levels of chemicals that are toxic and don’t break down in the environment,” Muhannad Malas, toxics program manager at Environmental Defence, told CTVNews.ca by phone Thursday. However, in a statement to CTVNews.ca, a Wendy’s spokesperson noted that the products tested as part of the study are not sold in Canada.

The report, released Thursday, also found that the molded fiber bowls and containers sold by Canadian salad franchise Freshii tested extremely high for PFAS. Testing by several environmental advocacy groups revealed traces of toxic perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals, more commonly known as PFAS, in the food packaging of Burger King's Whopper and McDonald’s Big Mac, French fries, and cookies, and Wendy's cookie bags. Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 10 responses to interview Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 87 responses to interview The female resume got 870% more responses.Nearly half of all take-out food packaging tested from several major fast food chains including McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy’s, contain toxic “forever chemicals” that may pose health risks, according to a new report. Sometimes the male went first, sometimes the female went first. Made a fake resume, and responded to craigslist ads with both male and female names. So then I thought 'what about someone looking for working class jobs?' So I decided to focus on restaurants- servers, hosting, etc. Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 45 responses to interview The female resume was 650% more likely to get a callback. Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 7 responses for interview. I'd send it out with my real name, then a few days later (or few days before) with a female name. So I took my CV and changed the name to a female name. It's MUCH better being a woman So I did an experiment, I work in CS and decided to test what the gender bias is. 29.7K 1.3K sent 100 applications as a man and a woman.
