According to WCAX Channel 3 in Vermont, a recent report shows that much of the sewage sludge spread on Vermont farms contains PFAS, or "forever chemicals" that could be entering the food supply.
The practice of using sewage sludge is not as widely used as it used to be, it is still legal in the state of Vermont.
According to the article, "We already know that many common consumer products -- food packaging, furniture, and clothing -- have been traced to PFAS. However, there are growing concerns that some of the foods we consume can also be traced back to the waste stream in the form of PFAS-laden sludge or biosolids from waste treatment plants."
