California governor under pressure over bill to ban cookware made with Pfas
Gavin Newsom, the California governor, is facing pressure from industry and some celebrity chefs over a bill that would ban the sale of cookware made with Pfas, also known as "forever chemicals." The legislation, approved by the California legislature on 12 September, comes as Newsom is considering a run for the Democratic presidential nomination, which has increased the scrutiny on his decision. The bill aims to address the growing concerns over the health and environmental impact of Pfas, which have been linked to various health issues. However, Newsom has previously vetoed environmental bills, and the industry and some celebrity chefs are lobbying him to reconsider his stance on this latest legislation.
