170,000+ Demand USDA Reject Release of GMO American Chestnut Into Wild Forests

“The ethics of SUNY-ESF’s plan to collaborate with a for-profit company to make money from the sale of these defective trees is also extremely troubling.” @gmwatch.bsky.social @gmofreeusa.bsky.social bit.ly/45iEYn8

Learn more about the study, and more ways to reduce your exposure to these endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can cause devastating long-term harm at ultra-low levels: toxinfreeusa.org/food-testing...

Clean Label Project: Endocrine Disruptor Study - GMO / Toxin Free USA

Endocrine disruptors found in CA WIC foods. Clean Label Project exposes risks in packaging, food safety, and health for vulnerable families.

Phthalates can be passed from mom to baby during pregnancy and children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of phthalate exposure as their bodies are still developing.

It can also complicate becoming pregnant, and increase the likelihood of miscarriage, early births, or late births with complications.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are linked to a long list of health harms, including problems for women like a delayed period, increased appetite, and acne breakouts.

Food contact materials like plastic containers, cans, wraps, and bags can leach harmful substances into the foods they’re intended to protect, often without being subject to the same level of scrutiny as the food itself.

Microplastic-encapsulated synthetic pesticides and fertilizers used in conventional agriculture are another possible source of contamination.

GMO/Toxin Free USA @gmofreeusa.bsky.social · Jun 29

It is also possible that the contaminants come from the farm. Plastic mulch is widely used to control weeds in the growing of fruits and vegetables we eat daily.

GMO/Toxin Free USA @gmofreeusa.bsky.social · Jun 29

In many cases, these contaminants likely originate not from the food source but from upstream components of the supply chain, including processing equipment, packaging materials, and storage conditions.

The findings show that phthalates and BPA—endocrine-disrupting chemicals linked to developmental, reproductive, and metabolic health concerns—can be present in the finished food products.

GMO/Toxin Free USA @gmofreeusa.bsky.social · Jun 29

This study underscores the need to broaden the narrative beyond the ingredients themselves and consider the role of food packaging and processing materials in contributing to chemical contamination.

GMO/Toxin Free USA @gmofreeusa.bsky.social · Jun 29

But the conversation is much broader. These are foods like organic artichokes, corn, green beans, sugar snap peas, canned diced tomatoes, and canned garbanzo beans, widely eaten by the general population.

GMO/Toxin Free USA @gmofreeusa.bsky.social · Jun 29

A new report by our good friends at the Clean Label Project reveals the presence of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in a range of food products approved for California’s Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program.
