LOS ANGELES — Flame-retardant chemicals that are known to be harmful to health have been found in a package of butter sampled in a Dallas grocery store, according to a study published Tuesday.
This is the first reported case of food contamination that is thought to have resulted from the chemicals used in the food packaging. The authors of the report, from the University of Texas School of Public Health in Dallas, said they don’t know how and where the butter was contaminated. But they called for more random screening of food products. The study appears online in Environmental Health Perspectives.
