Impact of Chemicals Along the Food Supply Chain
Chemicals are introduced at various stages of the food supply chain. For instance, pesticides are applied to increase absorption in plants, potentially leading to harmful effects. Additionally, chemicals like phthalates are introduced during milk collection through milking machines, as they line the tubing to keep it soft. These chemicals can easily transfer to the milk, affecting the end product that consumers ultimately consume. Not only in growing the food, but also in packaging, processing, and even storage and heating, there is a risk of exposure to harmful chemicals.
