The next time you’re in the grocery store, you may want to take a look at how the fresh food is packaged.
According to new research, toxic chemicals similar to bisphenol A (BPA) are leaching from certain labels through packaging, and into the meat, seafood, produce and other foods purchased in some Canadian and U.S. grocery stores.
“We identified the thermal labels are a source [of BPA-like compounds] in our diet directly … so far in the world, no one had identified that the packaging could be a source of bisphenol S to the diet,” said Stéphane Bayen, a professor at McGill University in Montreal and senior author of the newly published study.
