Chemours and its predecessor, DuPont, are attempting to seal nearly 20,000 documents related to their release of PFAS chemicals into the Cape Fear River in North Carolina. Environmental groups, represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC), are intervening, arguing the documents are crucial for understanding the health and property impacts on local communities and future generations. While Chemours claims the documents contain trade secrets, the SELC counters that the company has already publicized much of this information in marketing campaigns.

California Takes Aim at Ultra-Processed Foods in School Meals

2025-03-27

California has introduced Assembly Bill 1264, the first US bill to phase out certain ultra-processed foods from school meals by 2032. The bill defines ultra-processed foods and tasks scientists with identifying and removing harmful products. This initiative, supported by both Democrats and Republicans, addresses concerns about the health impacts of these foods, including obesity and ADHD. It follows California's previous bans on certain food dyes and chemicals, and mirrors similar legislation emerging in other states, reflecting a growing national focus on food safety and children's health.
