Dioxin and Milk Cartons

[Heather R Kurtz <hk3219@ark.ship.edu>]

Hello,

I recently read about late 80's, early 90's findings of dioxin in milk
cartons, and consequent dioxin contamination of milk. Supposedly, FDA was
supposed to do something about this come 1992 in terms of forcing milk
carton producers to reduce dioxin concentrations in the carton.I am
assuming the same concern is present for soymilk, orange juice etc? Of
course dioxin is fat soluble, so juices wouldn't be as great of a concern.
Does Anybody know about this?? Is this still a threat? I don't know how
dioxin concentrations in paper cartons could be limited, when they are all
chlorine bleached...unless some are using pcf paper?
