A team of research scientists led by US Food and Drug Administration chemist Timothy Duncan has found evidence of silver nanoparticles embedded in packaging used as an antimicrobial agent seeping into the dry food it is meant to protect. In their paper published in the journal ACS Food Science & Technology, the group describes how they created their own packaging with embedded silver nanoparticles and tested it with various foods, and what they learned by doing so.
