- Scientists make surprising discovery about drinks stored in . . .
"It was observed that the most contaminated containers were glass bottles," the study found "Caps were suspected to be the main source of contamination, as the majority of the particles in isolated beverages were identical to the color of the caps and shared the composition of the outer paint "
- Capped With Toxics Report and Summary | Ecology Center
Testing of the plastic liners from beneath nearly 300 bottle caps has revealed that many glass-bottled beverages may be capped with toxic chemicals that could expose consumers to harm and contribute to environmental injustice The plastic liners (known as cap gaskets) are used to seal metal bottle caps to the rim of glass bottles
- The caps of glass bottles contaminate beverages with . . . - Anses
Microplastics are present in all beverages, but those packaged in glass bottles contain more microplastic particles than those in plastic bottles, cartons or cans This was the surprising finding of a study conducted by the Boulogne-sur-Mer unit of the ANSES Laboratory for Food Safety The scientists hypothesised that these plastic particles could come from the paint used on bottle caps Water
- Glass bottles found to contain more microplastics than . . .
Glass bottles of beverages such as soft drinks, lemonade, and beer contain significantly more microplastic particles—averaging around 100 particles per liter—than plastic bottles or metal cans
- Glass Bottled Drinks Found to Contain Microplastics
Water samples showed the lowest microplastic presence overall, with glass bottles containing about 4 5 particles per liter, and plastic bottles or cartons averaging just 1 6 This indicates that the contamination from caps is most prominent in carbonated or sweetened drinks that may interact more with the closure over time
- Glass bottles contain more microplastics than plastic ones . . .
Drinks sold in glass bottles, like soda, wine, or beer, may contain more microplastic particles than those in plastic ones, a surprising new study published by France's food safety agency suggests
- Most Glass-Bottled Beverages Contain Toxic Chemicals Linked . . .
The new report — Capped with Toxics — tested the plastic liners of 273 metal bottle caps from soda, juice, water and other beverages The results found that one-third of brands tested contained ortho-phthalates, which studies have shown can migrate from cap gaskets into food and beverages The chemicals may also leave a residue on the rim
