Article on chemicals leaching from packaging (from C&EN)

[brittone2]

DH is a chemist and gets this publication...he sent me this article this morning and I thought I'd share. It discusses chemicals leaching into food, pharmaceuticals, etc. from packaging materials.

Let me know if that link doesn't work (I don't think you need a login but let me know if you do).

(eta: some of the discussion pertains to buying packaging/materials from third party suppliers, etc. and reminded me a bit of the issues w/ Sigg and their claims that they can't be held responsible).

Great article. I had always wondered about other chemicals leaching into food after the news about BPA broke. There are also stories about chemicals leaching into the ocean form all the discarded plastic. Thank-you for the article.
