Fox News
Researchers said chemicals used in plastics called phthalates have reportedly been detected in fast-food dishes, including hamburgers and chicken burritos.
The restaurants selected were located in San Antonio, Texas, and fast-food items – the most commonly ordered foods with standard toppings and fillings – were sampled in two phases from 2017 to 2018.
In research from 2016, the group said it had found that foods categorized as meats or grains were associated with higher exposure to both di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and plasticizer dioctyl terephthalate (DEHT).
