Testing commissioned by Mamavation blog found high levels of a marker of PFAS in nine of 11 baggies tested
Most of the nation’s plastic sandwich baggies contain toxic PFAS “forever chemicals”, an analysis suggests, raising questions about the products’ safety in the US.
Testing of 11 types of baggies made by major producers showed high levels of a marker of PFAS in nine.
The analysis, conducted by an Environmental Protection Agency-certified lab and commissioned by the Mamavation blog, is the latest to highlight the use of PFAS in the nation’s food packaging.

The only brand that did not show any markers of PFAS was Ziploc. Public health advocates say the best way consumers can protect themselves is to use glass containers instead of plastic.
Ziploc is definitely the most popular and known brand. It seems really weird that they waited to put that information at the very end of the article. I’m guessing it’s just to get people to keep reading - most people would have stopped reading if the first paragraph made it clear that this applies only to off-brand bags.
