C8 Phased Out of Food Wrappers In July 2012 the U.S. FDA released a statement that manufacturers had voluntarily ceased selling agents containing the compound C8 for food-contact use the prior summer. At that time, manufacturers had predicted stocks of the agents and packaging containing them would be depleted within a year. C8, or perfluorooctanoic acid, was used to keep oil and grease from seeping through food packaging. It is persistent in the environment and has been linked with testicular and kidney cancers and pregnancyinduced hypertension. The compound is still used in products such as cookware and clothing.
