Popis: Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) flakes were ground, contaminated, washed, manufactured into multilayer preforms and bottles, and then tested for migration. The model contaminants were toluene, trichloroethane, chlorobenzene, phenyldecane, benzophenone, phenylcyclohexane, and copper(II) acetylacetonate. No migration was detected through a barrier of virgin PET (186 ± 39 μm) into 3% acetic acid food simulant using general methods of testing with a detection limit of 1 μg kg-1. Migration was
