And yet, even your tomato sauce in the glass jar went through probably hundreds of yards of plastic tubing that leaches phthalates in the factory. It's essentially impossible to get away from this stuff entirely, although I do think you're doing the right thing to reduce your exposure. They've shown that, for example, if you get an IV, you get a big spike of phthalates in your blood from the medical grade tubing.
Now granted, that tubing is brand new and probably leaches more than what's in the tomato sauce factory, but you also don't get an IV every day.
If you want to reduce your exposure to these things say, 50%, you can achieve that with some changes like you've made that aren't too onerous. Going much beyond that though as an individual is extremely difficult because these chemicals are in absolutely everything.

Basically just accept that you can't control everything and won't be able to totally eliminate exposure but make the attempt to minimize it as much as possible.
