If I'm reading the article correctly, it says that the phthalates in mac and cheese are in the cheese mix, not the plastic packaging.

- coldtea 9y agoFor that particular case, perhaps, but they also say: Phthalates are not deliberately added to food. They are industrial chemicals used to soften plastics and are used as solvents, in adhesives and in ink on packaging. The chemicals migrate into food from food processing equipment like plastic tubing, conveyor belts and gaskets and other plastic materials used in the manufacturing process, and can also seep in from printed labels or plastic materials in the packaging."
