Abstract
Polystyrene and acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrenes (ABS) containers for individual serving portions (80 samples of milk, cream, butter, margarine and spreads) used in the catering industry were found to contain 1–4% mineral oil. Levels of mineral oil migrating into the foods were generally low (2 of mineral hydrocarbons. However in experiments with a variety of jams and preserves levels of migration were not significant, ranging from 0.15 to 1.2 mg/kg.Keywords
