The new #EFSA tolerable daily intake for #BPA, updated in April 2023, is 20,000 times lower than the previous limit. It basically means that any intake, no matter how small, is considered a health risk. This amounts to a ban in all but name, but the key question is, what will replace it and is that any less toxic? One of the many factors at play in the complex global #plastic problem.

Repost from the Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty's Twitter (because they're not here yet):

"Several #POPs listed in the Stockholm Convention are #plastic #additives, including brominated flame retardants, a plasticizer and plastic-related fluorinated POPs. IPCP and @UNEP are hosting a timely webinar series on #Plastic POPs."

Another lesson learned if all this is correct. And I thought with wine it was already too much of everything.

#Defoamingcoatingadditives are used to reduce foam formation in a coating formulation and to enhance the stability of the #coating. These additives are added to the coating to reduce air entrapment and prevent bubble formation during the coating process. The demand for defoaming coating #additives is increasing as they are used to improve the performance of coatings and to reduce production costs.

😡 #SimplyOrange Juice drink isn’t ‘all-natural,’ has ‘toxic’ ingredients, #lawsuit says"

Complaint: "The #SimplyTropical drink 'does not disclose presence of PFAS — or any other synthetic chemical — in their ingredients.'

How does food stay fresh for so long on the shelves?

The secret: antioxidants like Vitamin C! 🍋

#Antioxidants keep food from going bad too quickly. Like all #additives, they are thoroughly regulated by the EU to ensure #foodsafety.
