About this test

This PlasticList-derived record contains 3 samples of Cracker from 1952 Korean War Rations screened for 18 phthalates plus BPA, BPS, and BPF. PlasticList reports that these samples were collected in the second half of 2024. The imported data available here does not identify the testing laboratory, analytical method, or exact test date. DBP was the highest measurement at 2,384–more than 60,000 ng/g in all 3 samples, followed by DEHP at 187–4,006 ng/g and BPF at 21 ng/g. BBP, BPA, BPS, DEHA, DEHT, DIDA, and 3 others were below the limit of quantitation.

Measurements are reported by sample in ng/g, including non-detect and quantitation-limit status where available.

This record is derived from PlasticList data and retains its source-specific collection information. Results describe the tested samples and lots at a point in time; they do not establish that every unit of a product is universally safe or contaminated.
