Black Colored Plastic is Related to toxic Flame Retardants
Black colored plastic is in use in black plastic sushi trays and kitchen tools like?spatulas and slotted spoons. These leak toxic flame retardants into the air and into the food they come in contact with. A recent study found that people whose serum blood levels were high in polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) came down with thyroid, breast and other cancers. It is important to clean up the environment to prevent these added cancers. It might take some time before the manufacturers respond to this clinical study. In the meantime, it is “Buyer, beware!” Replace black plastic cooking utensils in your kitchen with stainless steel, wood, and silicone utensils.
