I remember when this link went around that this 1% column didn't really quite make sense. 1% makes it sound like it's well within the limit, even if you ate 10 in-n-out cheeseburgers a day.

I guess the question is, at what percent of the "tolerable daily intake" of DEHP do very bad side effects (like the heart issues in this post) start to occur?

I mean yeah, the creators of PlasticList explicitly stated that they didn't change their eating habits based on their findings. Perhaps plastic contamination of food just isn't a huge issue in developed countries.
