摘要:As food apparatus, containers and packages are necessary in daily life, they must not contain harmful chemicals that could migrate to food. Investigations are necessary in this respect to confirm their safety. This review introduces recent problems and topics relating to the hygiene of food apparatus, containers and packages. The topics are as follows: di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate from polyvinyl chloride products, bisphenol A from polycarbonate and epoxy resin products, epoxidized soybean oil and semicarbazide from bottle cap sealing agents for infants, PFOA from fluoroplastics and the fluorine coatings, lactic acid from polylactide, and abietic acids from paper products.
