A new study recently found evidence for widespread human exposure to food contact chemicals (FCCs) through food packaging items.
A new study suggests that hazardous chemicals can migrate from food packaging into the food people eat.Researchers in Switzerland analyzed more than 14,000 known food contact chemicals and prioritized the chemicals that have been frequently detected in food contact materials. Then the team mapped the available evidence for their presence in humans.
The researchers said the results can enable policymakers, public health researchers, and food industry decision-makers to make food contact materials and articles safer, reducing potential human exposure to hazardous FCCs and improve public health.
