I remember some changes to cling film in the UK several years ago for health reasons, but it got clingier then, if anything. I don't like it next to food, so I like to stretch it taut over bowls etc, so it doesn't sag into the food. I also use it to control the moisture content of my ceramic pieces in progress. I wonder if the health concern was ingestion or just contact?
