No Chlorofluorocarbons

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are synthetic organic compounds containing carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms. They were historically used as propellants in aerosol products, refrigerants, and solvents. The label "No Chlorofluorocarbons" indicates that a product does not contain these specific chemicals.

CFCs were used to propel substances out of aerosol cans, such as cooking sprays and whipped creams. The "No Chlorofluorocarbons" label assures consumers that alternative propellants, which do not harm the ozone layer, are used instead.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were phased out globally due to their significant role in depleting the Earth's ozone layer. This environmental concern led to international agreements like the Montreal Protocol, which banned their production and use. While CFCs were not regulated by the FDA as direct food additives, their use as propellants in aerosol products, including food sprays, was discontinued in line with these environmental regulations. The label "No Chlorofluorocarbons" indicates that a product uses alternative, ozone-friendly propellants.
