Misleading summary. Should be "Chemicals in fatty foods that come in contact with plastics, particularly cheese, and especially cheese powder." As the article (eventually) notes:
Since they bind with fats, they tend to build up in fatty foods, including not just cheese but baked goods, infant formula, meats, oils and fats, and fast food, studies show.
So these chemicals are present in concentrations four times higher than in block cheeses (probably due to all the extra processing), but they aren't absent in real cheese (or other products).
