The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) panel on food contact materials, enzymes, flavorings and processing aids has concluded that exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA)—commonly used with other chemicals to make plastics and resins—presents no health concern at estimated levels dietary exposure.
“Based on a comprehensive reevaluation of BPA exposure and toxicity, EFSA’s scientific experts concluded that BPA poses no health risk to consumers of any age group (including unborn children, infants and adolescents) at current exposure levels,” says Steven Hentges of the American Chemistry Council’s (ACC) Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group.
