Rhonda Patrick: Don’t buy ketchup and hot sauce in plastic
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Switch to glass containers for acidic condiments like ketchup and hot sauce to avoid microplastic and chemical leaching.
- Avoid plastic packaging for any food with acidity, as it accelerates the release of BPA, phthalates, and microplastics.
- Check your fridge now – replace plastic-stored condiments with glass alternatives immediately.
Notable Quotes
“The acidity is leaching microplastics and BPA and phthalate chemicals into your condiments and then you’re putting that on your food and you’re eating them.”
Bottom Line
Immediately transfer all acidic foods from plastic to glass containers to reduce ingestion of harmful microplastics and endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
