Forever chemicals found in Chipotle, Annie's, Fairlife and more foods

Forever chemicals found in Chipotle, Annie's, Fairlife and more foods

A study by Consumer Reports found plasticizers in dozens of grocery and fast food brands' foods, regardless of their packaging.

Phthalates, substances categorized as "forever chemicals," have been found in nearly every American's bloodstream, coming from the cleaning products they use to the food and drinks they consume. 

Though efforts to limit consumption of phthalates first focused on how items are packaged, particularly in plastic food packaging, some foods themselves may be what's making you ingest more forever chemicals than you realized.

New research from Consumer Reports found phthalates in 99% of products it tested, regardless of their packaging type or if they were certified organic. 

And some products found to have high levels of phthalates are staples in many American pantries, such as General Mills' Original Cheerios, Del Monte sliced peaches, Chicken of the Sea pink salmon, Fairlife Core Power high-protein chocolate milkshakes and Yoplait Original French vanilla low-fat yogurt. 

Annie's Organic cheesy ravioli was found to have the highest levels of phthalate, the report said, and some products had different phthalate levels even under the same company, with Chef Boyardee's Big Bowl Beefaroni pasta in meat sauce having less than half the amount of its Beefaroni pasta in tomato and meat sauce.
