MN HF 2310 (2023 Omnibus Environment Bill)
All food packaging
Prohibits PFAS in ALL food packaging. Uniquely among US states, Minnesota explicitly covers end USERS of packaging (restaurants, food trucks, caterers) — not just manufacturers and distributors. The statute uses 'knowingly' language — operators must 'knowingly sell, offer for sale, or distribute' PFAS-containing packaging.
Civil: up to $10,000 per violation
Civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation. CRITICAL: Restaurants and food service operators are directly liable, not just supply chain.
Minnesota holds food service operators (restaurants, food trucks, caterers) directly liable for using packaging that contains PFAS. You cannot rely solely on your supplier's representations — you must independently verify compliance.
Exemptions
As a food service operator in Minnesota, you are directly liable for using non-compliant packaging. You must independently verify that every food-contact package you purchase is PFAS-free — relying on supplier claims alone is not sufficient under this law.
