Black plastic cooking utensils—are the toxic BFFs in your kitchen drawer. A new study shows these bad boys are likely loaded with flame retardants 🧯🔥, aka “forever chemicals” or PFAS, that you don’t want in your food. Trade that toxic soup stirrer for something healthier: stainless steel or bamboo utensils! They won’t leach weird chemicals into your spaghetti sauce. Planet Tip: place the black plastic inside a plastic bag before throwing them away to be sure the toxic chemicals will take 1,000 years to make it into landfill scavenger birds or our ground water.
