Recent news about BPA
You almost have to be sorry for soft drink companies these day. The latest blow?. BPA has been found in soft drink cans in Canada (and, presumably, here?).
And the Danes have banned BPA from food packages targeted to children, no doubt, as the Swiss have shown, bottle-fed infants get the greatest exposure.
In the meantime, everyone keeps saying that current exposures are below safety limits. Maybe, but the FDA has just released five background documents that it is using as a basis for its current view (“some concern”) and future decision.
