'Consumer Reports is urging General Mills to reduce plastic chemicals in its pre-packaged foods.

In a letter sent Wednesday to General Mills, the advocacy group said it found "concerning" levels of phthalates in several General Mills products, including Annie's Organic Cheesy Ravioli. Other General Mills products that tested positive for high levels of chemicals include Yoplait Original Low Fat Yogurt, Cheerios Original and Green Giant Cream Style Sweet Corn, according to Consumer Reports.

"When you buy organic, the last thing you'd expect is that you would be eating plastic chemicals," Consumer Reports Food Policy Director Brian Ronholm said in a statement.

General Mills did not immediately respond to a request for comment.'

It's no wonder it's being found in our bodies. It's everywhere. It's getting to the point where I don't want to eat anything unless it was grown in my backyard.
