EPFL researchers identify rubber-related chemicals in Swiss milk
Researchers at EPFL identified four rubber-related chemicals in Swiss raw milk, with at least one compound present in seven of 17 samples. The study also found 14 such chemicals in dairy equipment components, indicating that food-contact materials may be a source of contamination. The findings, published in Food Chemistry X, highlight the need for further research into contamination pathways and potential health risks.
