According to reports, a study by the Royal Society of Chemistry found that many product labels on the outside of food packaging use acrylic adhesives, most of which contain highly toxic chemical substances.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11237/
The study found that 11 toxins were detected in the adhesives of four sampled food labels, causing harm to the human body no less than mercury or hydrochloric acid. Among them, four toxins are permeable and can penetrate the outer packaging to contaminate food.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11237/
The study did not specify the origin of the sampled foods, but emphasized that such toxic labels are “widely used.” Human intake of these toxins may affect the internal organ system. Some toxins can cause cancer, lead to infertility, cause immune system disorders and neurological lesions, and ingestion of large amounts can directly cause death.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11237/
The report said that the current European food safety regulations only emphasize that these toxins must not come into direct contact with food, but do not prohibit their presence in label adhesives.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11237/
