Fast food chains are pressing your meal between PTFE-coated fiberglass sheets on two-sided clamshell grills. When these sheets are overheated, overused, or cleaned the wrong way, they fray, and that means fiberglass fibers can end up where food is prepared and served. Fiberglass is a respiratory and skin irritant and not meant to be ingested. It does not belong anywhere near your burger or chicken.

This isn’t a fringe issue. These sheets are a standard consumable in many fast-food kitchens, yet customers aren’t told, and there’s no clear public policy from most brands on phasing out fiberglass-based liners or even disclosing their use. That’s unacceptable!

We’re a consumer action group and we’re done with restaurants quietly putting our health at risk. We’re shedding light on a real, fixable problem and demanding accountability.
