Cancer-causing Chemicals Leaching into Food from Packaging
Posted on July 5, 2022
Chemical Free Life
Scientists have now identified over three thousand chemicals leaching into food from the food packaging*, 65 percent of which were previously never discovered to be in contact with food. The study found more than two-thirds were identified in plastic packaging. Experts warn that some of the chemicals found were extremely dangerous and could cause cancer. The chemicals found in the study include Bisphenol A, Formaldehyde, Antimony, Phthalates (Diethylhexylphthalate), and Styrene.*
*Chemical migration to food depends on factors such as temperature, contact time, the surface-volume ration, and the type of food or food simulant.

“These are amongst the most frequently studied and measured chemicals, and they are known chemicals of concern with possible implications including the development of metabolic disorders like immune toxicity and neurotoxicity, leukemia, cancer and hormonal disruption.”- Jane Muncke, CEO, Food Packaging Forum
