The phthalates contained in plastic food packages sold in market were studied.13 samples were tested for the type and content of 6 different phthalates by SPE and GC method. The result indicates that the gross amount of PAEs was 41.30 to 16563.05 mg/kg. DEHP was detected in all the samples while both DBP and DEHP were found in 5 samples. The DBP value exceeded 3.0 mg/kg, and the maximum content reached 16016.98 mg/kg. The DEHP content of samples is above 1.5 mg/kg, in which the maximum value reached 15200.78 mg/kg. The illegal use of PAEs is severe that poses health threats on the public. Finally some suggestion of national standards update and current situation of plasticizers are put forward.
