Risk Assessment of Bisphenol a Migrated from Canned Foods in Korea - Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A: Current Issues

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health: "Exposure and risk assessment of bisphenol A (BPA) was conducted on consumption of canned foods in Korean adults. Sixty-one canned food items with different brands purchased from retail outlets in markets were analyzed for BPA concentration by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorescence detection. Limits of detection (LOD) were 3 μg/kg for solid and 2 μg/kg for liquid foods"

Evidence indicates that the levels of BPA levels in canned foods are not likely to constitute a safety concern for consumers in Korea.
