Biggest source of food contamination

Most of you will think that major contamination of our food are additives and/or pesticides. I am going to tell you that it is wrong, by far, the most significant source of contamination comes from food contact materials! It’s the chemicals from packaging that migrates in huge quantity into food.

Issues such as epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) from gaskets of lids of glass jars, primary aromatic amines (PAAs) from nylon kitchen wares and plasticizers from PVC wrapping films and containers are abundant.

Yet, people choose to ignore those chemicals that leach from food packaging.
