Convenience foods are commonly packaged with plastic materials. Many of the phthalate plasticizers (PAEs) in the packages may migrate into the foods and cause health hazards. In the present study, the contents of some PAEs were analyzed in 283 convenience foods and the plastic packaging materials. Health hazards were assessed for infants, children and young people. The contents of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), found in the samples rich in fat, ranged from below the limit of detection to 5.23 mg/kg. The content of dibutylphthalate (DBP) ranged from 0.511 mg/kg in meat to 2.54 mg/kg in cake. The content of PAEs in convenience foods near their expiration date was much higher than that of just manufactured packages. Children are more prone to be adversely affected by the PAEs than the adults. In addition, females are more sensitive to the PAEs than males.

方便食品通常用塑料材料包装。包装中的许多邻苯二甲酸酯增塑剂（PAE）可能会迁移到食品中并造成健康危害。在本研究中，分析了283种方便食品和塑料包装材料中某些PAE的含量。对婴儿，儿童和年轻人的健康危害进行了评估。在富含脂肪的样品中发现的邻苯二甲酸二乙基己酯（DEHP）的含量范围从检测限以下至5.23 mg / kg。邻苯二甲酸二丁酯（DBP）的含量从肉中的0.511 mg / kg到蛋糕中的2.54 mg / kg不等。接近到期日的方便食品中PAE的含量远高于仅生产包装的PAE。儿童比成年人更容易受到PAE的不利影响。此外，
