“…Our research did not identify exact sources of contamination nor when it may have occurred in the food chain, but the associations we observed are consistent with reports in the literature that link these chemicals to food processing and packaging, and possibly to indirect sources such as cattle feed (Jarosova A 2010). Association of BPA with non-fresh vegetables is reported by others (Braun et al 2011), including detection of BPA in canned foods (Cao et al 2010; Kang and Kondo 2002; Schecter et al 2010).…”

Background Exposures of children to phthalates, parabens, and bisphenol-A (BPA) are of concern because of their hormonal potential. These agents are found in a wide range of foods and packaging. We investigated whether intake of certain foods predict exposures to these chemicals in young girls. Methods Among 1101 girls (6–8 years at enrollment) from the Breast Cancer and Environment Research Program (BCERP) study, we measured urinary exposure biomarkers for phthalates, parabens, and BPA and assessed dietary intake using 24-hour recall 2–4 times. We examined the average daily servings of major and minor food groups categorized as 0- <0.5, 0.5 – < 1 and ≥ 1 servings per day. Items included dairy, eggs, fats, fish, fruit, single grains, meat, non-poultry meats, pasta, poultry and vegetables. Covariate-adjusted least squares geometric means and 95% confidence intervals of creatinine-corrected phthalate and phenol metabolite concentrations in urine were calculated in relation to food intake. Results Grains, flour and dry mixes and total fish consumption were positively associated with BPA and the sum of four di-2-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) urinary metabolite concentrations. Non-fresh vegetables and poultry were both positively associated with BPA and paraben urinary concentrations. Fats, oils and poultry consumption were positively associated with BPA. Whole-fat dairy consumption was associated with ΣDEHP. Conclusions Some foods may contribute to child exposures to certain chemicals, and this may constitute modifiable means to reduce these environmental exposures.

This paper presents the outcome of two proficiency tests (IMEP-114/36) running in parallel, which focused on the determination of total As, Cd, Pb, Hg and Sn in feed premixes. Both exercises aimed to test the performance of laboratories measuring trace elements in feed, in compliance with Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on undesirable substances in animal feed. IMEP-114 was run for the European Union National Reference Laboratories, while IMEP-36 was open to all food control laboratories that wished to participate. In total 80 laboratories from 37 countries registered to both proficiency tests, from which 75 laboratories reported results. The test material used in this exercise was commercially available feed premix, which was processed, bottled, labelled and dispatched to participants. The performance of the participating laboratories was similar in both proficiency tests and was very good in the case of total Cd and less satisfactory for total As and total Pb. For total Sn only one-third of the participants reported results, from which 33% performed satisfactorily. Thirty-four participants reported results for total Hg, although the expert laboratories stated that the mass fraction for that measurand was below the limit of detection of the method used. An evaluation of the reasons that could be at the basis of unsatisfactory results has been carried out and is presented here.

Phthalic acid esters (phthalates, PAE) are very important contaminants of the food chain. In this paper, experimental data on the content of phthalates (di-n-butyl phthalate and di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) in packaging materials for foodstuffs and in animal tissues (muscles of poultry, subcutaneous pork fat, poultry fat, renal beef fat, and muscles of fish) are presented. In packaging materials, detected concentrations of DEHP were higher than DBP concentrations. In feedstuffs for farm animals, detected concentrations of DBP are higher than DEHP concentrations, and, correspondingly, this was detected in fat of cattle and pigs as well. Examination of phthalate content in adipose tissue of farm animals is an appropriate indicator of contamination by phthalates. A correlation was found between the phthalate content of feedstuffs and tissues of slaughtered animals. High levels of DEHP have been proved in blood bags and in blood of patients regularly treated by haemodialysis. The main prevention is thus control of the phthalate content in feedstuffs.
