High Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Food packaging is one of the most direct routes of plastic chemical exposure. BPA, BPS, phthalates, and PFAS migrate from packaging into food — especially with heat, acidity, or fat content. Canned foods lined with BPA epoxy, plastic-wrapped meats, and microwave-safe plastic containers are among the highest-exposure sources.
