BUDDIE-PACK data on migrations of aged materials, migration of new articles and microplastic release.

Summary

Scientists tested how chemicals and tiny plastic bits move from food packaging, including older, worn packaging, into the food it holds. This matters because understanding these migration patterns helps researchers improve packaging safety and reduce unwanted chemical or microplastic exposure from the foods we eat. Note that this entry describes underlying data rather than final results, so specific findings aren't detailed here.
