Persistent plasticizers and bisphenol in the cheese
Six plasticizers (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, and DINCH) and BPA were found in the three cheese sample categories at the concentrations ranging between the limits of detection (LOD) and the limits of quantification (LOQ) for each compound. The LOQ was at least 0.5 ng/g.

- Is bisphenol A safe for use in plastics?
- Bisphenol A is a widely used and found plasticizer in different environmental media, including soils and food (Careghini et al., 2015). Despite being rapidly eliminated from the body, continuous exposure in some populations poses a significant health risk (Ruiz et al., 2018).
- Are phthalate-based plasticizers dangerous?
- Clinical evidences, experimental models, and epidemiology of many studies suggest that phthalate-based plasticizers, aliphatic ester, and bisphenol A (BPA) have major risks for humans by targeting different organs and body systems. The current study has been designed firstly to analyze three categor …
- Are there plasticizers in your cheese?
- Despite that limited scope, we found evidence that plasticizers occur widely in cheeses. In particular, the consistent high levels of DEHA we found in cheese packaged in PVC cling-wrap deserve priority attention.
- Which plasticizers are found in Cheese samples?
- Six plasticizers (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, and DINCH) and BPA were found in the three cheese sample categories at the concentrations ranging between the limits of detection (LOD) and the limits of quantification (LOQ) for each compound. The LOQ was at least 0.5 ng/g.
- Do plasticizers migrate from packaging to food products?
- These results could be attributed to themigration of plasticizers from packaging to food products. The high DEHP concentration in the F1 cheese sample was in clear contrast with the results of the other two samples F2 and F3 in which DEHP was not or weakly detected. Indeed, these cheeses (F2 and F3) are packaged in a rigid plastic packaging.
- Does sun exposure affect the migration of plasticizers in food products?
- Open restaurants and small markets using the cheese F1 category usually expose it to the sun. Thiscould increase the migration of plasticizers in food product. For this reason, we have studied the kinetics of the migration of DEHP and DBP after exposing the F1 sample at different periods in the sun.
