dc.description.abstract	Food contamination is a global problem that can have a massive impact on human health. In Portugal, the consume of food is majority based on the Mediterranean diet including dairy products, meat, fish and eggs, vegetables, cereals, fruits, and water. However, sociodemographic and economic changes justify the recent changes in Portuguese food habits and patterns. Many of these newly introduced alimentary products are stored inside of plastic packages that can have in their composition bisphenols (BPS) and phthalates (PTH), well known due to their proprieties as endocrine disruptors (ED). The concern is due to the fact that these substances can migrate from the package to the food resulting in human exposure to these contaminants. Considering that exposure to ED occurs essentially through diet, it is important to refer that the group with higher risk are children whose ages range from 2 to 6 years old since they have a relative highly consumption of food and water in comparison to adults and because their reproductive, nervous and immune system is still in development. The aim of this study was to determine, through a review, the presence already reported of BPS and PTH in food available in Portuguese markets.	pt_PT
