Hidden danger in your receipts

Good morning,

Did you know that handling receipts could be exposing you to dangerous chemicals linked to hormone disruption, immune issues, and even cancer?

what’s in your receipts?

Most receipts are coated with BPA (bisphenol A) or BPS, chemicals that are easily absorbed into your skin within seconds of touching them.

In fact, exposure from a single receipt can be 1,000 times higher than what you get from BPA in food packaging.

Research has linked BPA and BPS to:

• Hormone disruption that affects metabolism and fertility

• Increased cancer risk

• Developmental and immune system issues, especially in children and pregnant women

what can you do?

• Say no to receipts or ask for an email version when possible

• Use gloves if handling receipts frequently (especially cashiers and retail workers)

• Wash your hands after touching receipts—especially before eating

Small changes like these can significantly reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals.
