Are you concerned about toxic chemicals in plastic food packaging?

[Greg Bernhardt]

I've had silicone cooking tools for a few years now. I also just got rid of my last plastic plates. Bought a nice set of porcelain plates from Target.

The evil ZERO strikes again.

The journal Chemosphere?

In July 2023, the journal was put "on hold" in the Web of Science Master Journal List, because "[c]oncerns have been raised about the quality of the content published in this journal."[1] By May 2024, the journal had marked more than 60 papers with expressions of concern, typically citing "unusual changes" of authorship prior to publication and "potential undisclosed conflicts of interest" by reviewers and handling editors.[2] In December 2024 the journal got delisted by Clarivate.[3]

I'm very concerned about toxic chemicals in food and the environment in general but take care about the sources of these 'scare' stories in the media.
