Hawaii banned intentionally added PFAS in food packaging, one of the earliest states in the Pacific to act.

What this means when you shop

Laws phase in over years and cover sales within the state, so products with intentionally added PFAS can remain on shelves and online during transitions. The practical move is to check products yourself: every item in our database carries an A to F PFAS grade plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis, so you can shop ahead of any deadline.
