Bisphenol A levels in cans triggers call for ban

Foodproductiondaily: "Tests have revealed the presence of bisphenol A (BPA) in the linings of beverage cans and some of the drinks themselves, including ones made by Nestle and Red Bull, said Friends of the Earth (FOE).

BUND, the German arm of the environmental group, said the BPA traces detected in drinks containers made by major players such as Becks, Fanta and Sprite were within current safety limits and unlikely to pose an independent health risk."
