EFSA delay publication of BPA review for second time
Breast Cancer UK (BCUK) are pleased to learn that EFSA have decided to extend the time limit for their BPA report publication to enable them to complete a more thorough and comprehensive review of all the science on such a crucially important matter that affects the future health of our babies and children.
However, it is a pity that the delay of their decision about the hazards of BPA has been moved from May, through July, to September because many more children throughout the EU will potentially be exposed to BPA in their baby and toddler products during those extra few months.
BCUK believes it is time that the UK Government take a precautionary approach, like France and Denmark, and introduce their own measures to end the use of BPA in babies bottles sold in the UK.
