This additional material also must not exceed the standard. 
Additives that could lead to excessive plastic can be dangerous.
Moreover, if in the process of manufacture of plastic is not true, additives should be bound in the polymer chain will be separated out. Therefore, the plastic used for food must be made of materials that are for food. (From; Dr.MM. Sintorini Moedjoko, Kes., Head of Laboratory of Environmental Microbiology, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, University of Trisakti). 
At room temperature, the contact time between food and plastic long enough. 
Small molecular weight compounds derived from the additive can enter the food freely. 

STYROFOAM
 
Styrrofoam so dangerous because it is made from grains Styrene, which is processed by using benzene. 
Though Benzene including substances that can cause many diseases. 
Benzene can cause problems in the thyroid gland, disrupting the nervous system.
