With regards to BPA, the ACC said that a new data from Health Canada confirmed the safety level of the chemical in bottled water, baby food and infant formula, and that they are said to be extremely low.
'These new government data confirm Health Canada's previous conclusion that exposure to BPA through food packaging uses is not expected to pose a health risk to the general population, including newborns and young children.' - ACC
The ACC said an adult would have to drink approximately 1,000 liters (or 264 gallons) of water from polycarbonate water cooler bottles every day to approach the BPA intake limit established in Canada.
No BPA was reportedly detected in any canned powdered infant formula samples tested while the levels found in baby food packaged in jars are said to be extremely low.
The Canadian Bottled Water Association and the North American Metal Packaging Alliance both applauded the Health Canada BPA survey and said it confirmed the safety levels of BPA in food packaging."
