Celebrity chefs want to kill @benallenca.bsky.social's #SB682 that would ban dangerous PFAS from cookware in California. These chefs either sell or endorse cookware lines that use these ‘forever chemicals’, putting their personal profits over public health.

Scientists agree: we can turn off the tap on #PFAS.
Manufacturing is a huge source of pollution.
This isn't just about what you cook with — it’s about water, food, soil and long-term public health.

PFAS are linked to serious health problems: some cancers, birth defects, developmental delays and more.
Scientists call them “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down and they’re already in the blood of most Americans.

This bill isn’t about banning cookware.
It’s about phasing out NONESSENTIAL uses of toxic #PFAS in products where safer options exist.
The science is clear:
these chemicals build up in our bodies and environment, and we can’t afford to wait.

Some celebrity chefs, like Rachael Ray, say banning nonstick cookware will make life harder for home cooks.
But we shouldn’t have to choose between convenience and and our health.
Safer, #PFAS-free alternatives already exist, like stainless steel and cast iron.

#PFAS are linked to cancer, liver and kidney damage, fertility issues and harm to the immune system -- even at very low doses.
They’re in the blood of nearly every American.
Cookware is one route of exposure, especially when pans are scratched or overheated.

Baby just say yes (on #SB682)
PFAS coatings from cookware manufacturing can contaminate water & workers. CA has already spent $500M+ cleaning it up. #SB682 prevents more harm!
Had a great time with the CA Alliance for Children’s Environmental Health, bringing together parents, medical professional, and young people to lobby to ban toxic PFAS, tackle microplastics and extreme heat, and make our kid’s food safe #SB682 #AB1264 #AB823 #SB646 #SB655
My #SB682 phases out unnecessary PFAS from our marketplace. The mass proliferation of this “forever chemical” that is now showing up in high levels in our bodies is becoming both a public health and environmental crisis.
My #SB682 cleared through committee last week to phase out the use of unnecessary PFAS in CA, and is now more important than ever to implement in order to protect our public health.
