More than 3,600 chemicals approved for food contact have been detected in humans, often linking them to serious health issues including cancer and hormone disruption.
The research sheds light on knowledge gaps surrounding food contact chemicals, emphasizing the urgent need for regulatory scrutiny due to potential health risks.
The study highlights that hazardous chemicals can migrate from packaging into food, contributing significantly to human exposure, raising concerns over the safety of food packaging.
Plastic, silicone, and coated metals are cited as major offenders in containing unregulated toxic substances that can leach into food under certain conditions.
