Tag: Nanoparticles in food

Recent reports from non-governmental organizations indicate that hundreds of food products contain nanomaterials, often without clear labeling. This has led to growing consumer questions about which foods contain nanoparticles, used to enhance flavor, texture, and shelf life.

Over 100 food products and packaging materials may already contain nanomaterials, prompting many consumers to ask, 'Is nanos healthy?'. The answer is complex, involving potential benefits like enhanced nutrient delivery but also significant health concerns related to potential toxicity and bioaccumulation that require further research.
