Risk Assessment of Phthalate Plasticizers in Food Contact Products
Phthalates, or phthalate esters are widely used as plasticizers (substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility)in food contact materials and products. The safety of these food contact materials and products is one of the major concerns for consumers. In this paper, the risk assessment is conducted through the investigations of harmfulness, dosage and exposure of phthalates in food contact materials and products. Exposure to phthalates in a certain extent results in health damage of consumers. Therefore, restriction of phthalates should be accomplished during the manufacture of food contact materials and products and corresponding alternative materials should be developed.
