Another potential hazard in the modern world of chemicals in food packaging according to a recent study.
Food contact materials ( FCMs) use acknowledged toxicants legally, in packaging throughout the US Europe and other parts of the world. We have all heard the scare stories of Cancer causing substances and other hormone disrupters in food packaging. Let's hope there isn't another ticking time bomb in the industrial world of packaging.
Stalker notes that Sir Colin Berry, emeritus professor of pathology at QMC London said of the study : " It is unlikely that compounds eluted from packaging have significant damaging effects on health because the doses experienced by people are very, very low."
