Consumers are exposed to a range of mineral oil hydrocarbons via food. Major sources of mineral oil residues in food are recycled cardboard and printing inks. Toxicological relevant mineral oil hydrocarbons are mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons. Jari Vartiainen and colleagues produced 100%bio‐based mineral oil barrier coated breakfast cereal packaging pouches from bio‐HDPE and TEMPOoxidized cellulose nanofibrils. The bio‐based pouch protects the contents to a great extent from toxic mineral oil migration as compared to non‐coated HDPE and other commercial breakfast cereal pouch films. (DOI: 10.1002/app.44586 )
