Consumeraffairs.com: "In May Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) introduced an amendment to the Food Safety and Modernization Act that would ban BPA in most food and beverage containers. The amendment is strongly opposed by the food industry, which had been supporting the bill up until that time.
BPA is widely used in plastic beverage bottles and in the liners of canned food. The chemical is valued within the industry because it makes normally soft plastic containers more rigid.
In California, disappointed supporters of the bill that would have banned BPA in children's products attributed their reversal of fortunes to intense food industry lobbying."
