There’s been an awful lot of worry and hand wringing recently about bispehnol-A, more commonly known as BPA. And, considering that nearly everyone’s refrigerator is built with and loaded with products packaged using BPA, it’s understandable that the public wants assurances that it’s safe.
After thousands of studies and rulings from several international regulators, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Food Safety Authority confirmed that BPA poses no threat to human health as it’s currently used. Yet activists in the United States and around the globe continue to call for bans of BPA.
