Phthalates, used to soften plastics, were detected in 17 out of 18 products tested, while mineral oils, which can contaminate food through packaging, were found in all 18 products. The highest levels of these chemicals were found in Pringles, prompting the group to call for stricter regulations on food packaging and ingredients to protect public health.
