European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Reconfirms Safe Use of Bisphenol A in Food Contact Products

good news: "The American Chemistry Council (ACC) issued the following statement today in response to a European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) announcement about consumers and the safety of bisphenol A (BPA):

'For the third time since 2007, and as a result of a comprehensive review of more than 800 recent studies, EFSA has again confirmed that bisphenol A (BPA) is safe for use in products that come in contact with food,' said Steven G. Hentges, Ph.D., of the American Chemistry Council.
'Consumers around the world can be reassured that EFSA's intense scientific scrutiny continues to reaffirm the safety of BPA in food contact applications, and again concludes that established safe intake levels for BPA provide a sufficient margin of safety for protection of consumers, including for infants and young children,' Hentges said."
