EU advocacy group, Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), is calling for a ban on BPA in all food packaging, following the news that the European Commission has launched discussions on imposing a ban on the chemical in baby bottles.
The controversy over the bisphenol A (BPA) could be solved if those on differing sides of the scientific divide would agree harmonised test programmes that could be validated by independent experts, European Commission scientists have said.
A plastics industry trade group has expressed deep concern after the French Senate called for the suspension of the commercial use of bisphenol A (BPA) in polycarbonate baby bottles.
The US government ruling on the safety of bisphenol A (BPA), due to be delivered later today, could be delayed as officials plead for more time to review the wealth of scientific evidence on the chemical.
