From organic cucumbers to gluten-free bread – today, everything we buy is packaged and shrink-wrapped. Hardly any foods or beverages are available that don’t come in some form of plastic packaging. But there is a danger that these packaging materials, with their artificial plasticisers, will seep into the food they wrap and find their way into our bodies. Each of us has a certain detectable plastic level in our blood. Consumer interest bodies have long demanded that packaging be listed in the product’s ingredients. However, today, no one knows exactly what all the packaging is made of, and manufacturers keep silent about it. In addition to health issues, there are also environmental concerns.
