Perspective: Challenges and Strategies to Reduce the Sodium Content of Foods by the Food Service Industry

This perspective article provides an overview of the challenges and strategies that have been used by the food service industry to reduce sodium in foods away from home, as well as future sodium reduction strategies. Because of the widespread consumption of foods away from home, implementing such future strategies could have a profound impact on the sodium content of the American diet.

Chemicals in Food Packaging: A Review of Phthalates and Bisphenols

Phthalates and bisphenol chemicals have been widely used globally in packaging materials and consumer products for several decades. These highly functional chemicals have become a concern due to their toxicity (i.e., endocrine modulators) and ability to migrate from food contact materials into food matrices and the environment resulting in human and environmental health risks.
