Does Eco-Products food packaging have PFAS?
PFAS Authority is a scoring system, not a laboratory. We do not test products ourselves. Grades are model-based, built from published ingredients, materials, certifications, brand disclosures and third-party lab results where they exist. See the rubric.
We graded 8 Eco-Products food packaging products, averaging Good (65/100). 5 of them grade Good or better. Against the other 30 food packaging brands we grade, where the middle brand sits at 34/100, Eco-Products is better than typical, scoring above 90% of them.
