Aanwezigheid van DEHA en ftalaten in vlees, vis en kaas en hun verpakkingsfolie

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) and phthalates are commonly used as plasticizers to soften polyvinyl chloride products. Because both DEHA and certain phthalates have been identified as priority chemicals for assessment of human health risk, researchers at Health Canada conducted a survey.
The eight phthalates studied were not detected in any of the food packaging, but DEHA was detected in most of the cling films. DEHA was not detected in any of the 10 cheese samples packaged in nonplasticized rigid plastics but was detected in all 30 cheese samples packaged in DEHA-plasticized cling films. An article about the research is published in the Journal of Food Protection.
