    Ocean Chef have changed the opening on their Hoki fish packaging away from the most unfriendly, totally unsuited to non-Conan The Barbarian types.

    Now it is a friendly to this user "matching ridge and channel", called "Easy-Lock" by some.

    Unlike most software companies Ocean Chef has improved things.
    Yay.

    If your customers can't open it then your customers can't eat it.

    Companies Knew the Dangers of PFAS 'Forever Chemicals'—and Kept Them Secret

    by Jeffrey Kluger
    Jun 1, 2023 4:22 PM ET

    "#C8 is today defined as two chemicals—#PFOA and #PFOS—that are part of a class of more than 12,000 substances known collectively as #PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Also known as '#ForeverChemicals' because that’s pretty much how long they linger in the environment, PFAS are used in thousands of products from textiles to #nonstick pans to #cosmetics to FireFightingFoam to #FoodPackaging, and more. The chemicals have been linked to a host of physical ills, including decreased fertility, high blood pressure in pregnant people, increased risk of certain cancers, developmental delays and low birthweight in children, hormonal disruption, high cholesterol, and reduced effectiveness of the immune system."

    ‘#ForeverChemicals’ – the part of cleaning you don’t want to last

    "Notable categories of cleaners that either may contain, or have historically contained, PFAS are:

    - glass and hard surface cleaners
    - fabric, upholstery, and #CarpetCleaners and treatments
    - #waxes and polishes for #floors, #furniture, #cars and #boat vessels
    - dishwashing rinse aids
    - #AerosolPropellant-based #cleaners and #AirFresheners
    - #paints and #coatings.

    "Floor sealers and finishes – products that cure into a film once applied – often contain PFAS. During floor stripping and waxing, PFAS concentrations in dust and air particulate matter were one order of magnitude greater than typical residential indoor air and two orders of magnitude greater than outdoor air, according to a 2022 study.

    "But now the cleaning products #Industry wants to keep consumers in the dark about the use of these chemicals in their brands. Earlier this month, a bill was introduced in Congress on behalf of leading household cleaning product makers that would deny Americans the right to know about #ToxicChemicals in cleaning products.

    "The manufacturer #Reckitt applauded Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) for introducing the bill, which would rob consumers of crucial information about the ingredients in their products. Reckitt makes popular household brands like #Lysol, #Woolite, #AirWick, #Vanish, #Calgon, among many others.

    And industry giant #SCJohnson
    called for a 'clear federal standard' on disclosing ingredients, knowing any such standard could take a decade or longer. The company manufactures #Glade, #Drano, #Pledge, #ScrubbingBubbles, #Shout and #Windex, along with many other products, including #Ziploc."
