[quote=Anonymous]If you are buying processed boxed Mac and Cheese by any brand but especially Annie's you might want
to read the article linked below. This is all over the news and  at the very minimum quite disturbing. Few questions come to mind..

1. Why there are phthalates in ANY food, let alone food that we feed our children. 
2. Why is it in the packaging of any such food if there is a known concern that it end up IN the food?
3. Why there is no warning on the packaging of any kind?
4. If the organic brand has  this level of phthalate issues, what about non organic brands and foods?

Annie's promises to remove a chemical from its mac and cheese that's linked to i[b]nfertility, cancer, and learning difficulties[/b]

[b]Annie's Homegrown[/b] recently announced it is working with suppliers [b]to eliminate a harmful chemical linked to infertility and learning difficulties from its highly popular boxed mac and cheese.[/b]

The brand, which is known for using organic ingredients, made the decision on February 21 to phase out phthalates, a chemical commonly found in plastic manufacturing parts.

"Food integrity and consumer trust are our top priorities at Annie's," the statement on Annie's website reads. "We are troubled by the recent report of phthalates found in dairy ingredients of macaroni and cheese and take this issue seriously."

[b]Phthalates are known to impact fertility, learning disabilities, and cause birth defects[/b]

The decision comes four years after a 2017 study by the Coalition for Safer Food [b]found the industrial chemical in 30 cheese products, including macaroni and cheese[/b], and baby toys. The highest concentrations of phthalates were found in boxed macaroni and cheese.
