Chemical used in baby bottles 'safe in small amounts' | European Voice
European Food Safety Authority says there is no evidence to justify changing scientific advice on bisphenol A.
Scientists advising European regulators have concluded that bisphenol A - a chemical widely used in baby bottles and food containers - is safe in small amounts.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) today (30 September) said that there was no evidence to justify changing scientific advice following a review by a advisory panel of 20 scientists. However, one scientist on the panel did not agree with the overall conclusion and argued that current guidance on human tolerance for bisphenol A (BPA) should remain temporary until the science was clearer.
The verdict disappointed campaigners on chemical safety, but was applauded by the plastics industry. A negative report from EFSA could have led to a series of bans on BPA across Europe, with major consequences for the industry.
