Previous national and EU surveys have shown fairly high
levels of ESBO in foods, in which about 4% were above the current overall migration limit
for plastics of 60 mg/kg and about 15% of the samples were above 30 mg ESBO/kg food. The
highest level found was 135 mg/kg. High migration levels might lead to an intake that
exceeds the existing Tolerable Daily Intake of 1mg/kg bw/day.
