in General Factchecking by Newbie (310 points)

This claim is true, while looking through the article, I found that it cites the FCC database, and when I looked at their very similar website, the information supported each other's claims. "Food packaging and other food contact articles, such as processing equipment and kitchen utensils, can release chemicals into food" (FCCmigex Database), this statement is supported by both articles and has evidence to back it up. This database is filled with a large team of scientists who are constantly investigating food safety. This article, along with the one it cited, brings up the same point that silverware and food processing equipment are bringing in household chemicals through oral exposure because of unsafe food chemicals, making entire kitchens unsafe. Both articles have the same data on diagrams provided with cited sources, which makes this even more credible.
