the part you don't eat and that leaves a skin of product behind, completely not touching the product you eat at all ever, has the slight possibility fo not being good to eat

Terrence Collins, Teresa Heinz professor of green chemistry & director of the Institute for Green Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, told Mamavation that “the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has known for decades that PFAS compounds in food wraps can migrate into our food.”

The butter is wrapped in it... It's totally touching. They're talking about the "wax paper" surrounding the butter.

and when I unwrap my butter it leaves at least a millimeter of butter on the paper, which I leave on the paper and throw in the trash. surely you don't mean to tell me I should be afraid of migration into the bulk product

I am concerned about it. You are free to feel about it as you wish.
