Statement Of The North American Metal Packaging Alliance, NAMPA Response To Feinstein Legislation/S. 593

NAMPA: "The March 13, 2009, introduction of legislation by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Charles Schumer (D- NY) and Representative Edward Markey (D-MA) to ban Bisphenol A (BPA) in all applications, including food and beverage containers, represents a misguided reaction to unfounded fears and demonstrates a complete disregard for the broad consensus among international regulatory authorities regarding the safety of BPA in food contact applications. 

If enacted into law, this legislation will have the unfortunate result of creating serious consequences in food safety and food protection for the American public."
