       Banned Chemicals Found in Mac and Cheese

       Yeah sure banning the chemicals from kids toys but not from food
       makes so much sense.
       Chemicals Banned From Your Kids' Toys Are Chilling in Their Mac
       and Cheese
       Certain chemicals were banned from kids' teething rings and toys
       a decade ago, but that doesn't mean children are safe from
       ingesting them. According to a new study by the Coalition For
       Safer Food Processing and Packaging, high concentrations of
       these dangerous chemicals may be in the place you'd least
       expect: boxes of beloved mac and cheese.
       According to a new study of 30 cheese products, boxes of
       macaroni and cheese with powdered cheese have the highest
       concentration of phthalates. Not only can these chemicals impact
       male hormones, but they have also been linked to behavior and
       learning problems as well as genital birth defects in baby boys.
       "The phthalate concentrations in powder from mac and cheese
       mixes were more than four times higher than in block cheese and
       other natural cheeses like shredded cheese, string cheese, and
       cottage cheese," Mike Belliveau, the executive director of the
       Environmental Health Strategy Center, told the New York Times.
       Although these chemicals were banned from toys, the Food and
       Drug Administration has not blocked them from foods, despite the
       risk to pregnant women and children. In 2014, a report to the
       Consumer Project Safety Commission highlighted that the primary
       sources of phthalates exposure are food, drugs, and beverages -
       not toys - and urged the FDA to reconsider their regulations.

       I wonder if I should give the boxes of macaroni and cheese in my
       cupboard to a woman?
