"'As we have always maintained, our products include only natural ingredients. We are looking forward to the court's decision,' the spokesperson said."
"'Physicians, researchers, and public health experts have called for the elimination of phthalates from consumer products, including food packaging, due to their potential effects on neurological and reproductive health,' the lawsuit states."
"'without merit.'"
A California woman filed a class-action lawsuit after independent testing by PlasticList reportedly found phthalates in Chobani yogurt. The testing identified DEHP, DEP, DBP, and DEHT in the product. DEHP and DBP are used to make plastics more flexible, DEP commonly appears in cosmetics and can migrate from packaging, and DEHT is a newer substitute under study. The report suggested the chemicals likely leached from plastic packaging over time. Phthalates can disrupt the endocrine system, harm reproductive health, and may increase cancer risk. Chobani moved to dismiss the case and called the allegations without merit; a court hearing indicated a formal dismissal may follow.
