EU advice on bisphenol A in food "remains valid"

ENDS Europe": "The current EU tolerable daily intake (TDI) of plastics intermediate bisphenol A in food provides 'a sufficient margin of safety for consumers', according to a new analysis published by European food safety authority Efsa on Wednesday.

The study considers new data on the chemical's impact on health, and concludes the TDI of 0.05 milligrams per kilogram of body weight 'remains valid' (EED 29/01/07)."
