food packaging

What are the potential health risks associated with food packaging?

One of the primary concerns with food packaging is the migration of chemical substances from the packaging into the food. Chemicals such as Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, commonly found in plastics, are known to be endocrine disruptors and can potentially cause adverse health effects. Similarly, heavy metals from metal packaging can leach into food, posing a risk of toxicity.
