I think it will likely be this - I'm already seeing all sorts of companies pivot to marketing "PFOA" free teflon alternatives (Starflon was the one that popped up last).
I suspect that just like the whole BPA in plastic thing - the "___ free" alternatives will not be any better.
They will just be sidestepping the very precise legal definition of the chemical that got them in trouble.
- TylerE 3y agoEither that or it will be like gluten-free, and you'll start seeing it slathered all over stuff that never had it in the first place. Like, no duh non-flavored sparkling water is gluten free! (Actual example I saw in the grocery store today)
- lesuorac 3y agoWell something like Soy Sauce often has gluten in it and I'd say judging by the name it doesn't. So something that seems like it'd trivially not contain X may actually have X.
- ceejayoz 3y agoNot as silly as it sounds. If you've got celiac, you may want to avoid sparkling water made in a plant that also bottles wheat beers. Gluten free refers not only to the ingredients, but to the manufacturing facility. https://celiac.org/main/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Combined-Gluten-Free-Diet-and-Food-Label-Reading-Guide.pdf https://celiac.org/main/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Combined-..., point #6. > "The gluten-free label represents that the procedures put in place to prevent cross-contact with gluten meet FDA standards."
