Cancer causing chemical found in food packaging
by Mike Adams, NaturalNews Editor
It's not just baby food: the chemical semicarbazide has been found in the packaging of various processed foods. It's one more reason to avoid processed foods altogether and, instead, get your nutrition from fresh produce, raw foods, whole grains, and foods you prepare in your own kitchen.
- Food processors and packaging companies still have reason
for concern following the publication of a risk assessment by the
European Food Safety Authority advising on the migration of
semicarbazide (SEM) from packaging into foods.
- The report shows that the chemical is definitely present in very small
quantities in certain processed and packaged foods though it poses no
immediate health threats.
- The study looked at the occurrence of SEM in food packaged in glass
jars and bottles and its scientific experts judged that the risk -- if
any -- to consumers is very small both for adults and infants.
