FDF welcomes EFSA conclusions on bisphenol A (BPA)
The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) welcomes the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on BPA which concludes that it poses no health risk to consumers of any age group at current exposure levels.
EFSA's confirmation of BPA's continued safe use should be the basis for regulatory decisions and we urge the European Commission and Member States to ensure that national measures are based on science.
Although the t-TDI (temporary Tolerable Daily Intake) has been reduced, as a result of a more refined assessment methodology, current exposure is still considerably below the t-TDI.
FDF and the food industry remain committed to the safety of food products and strongly support science-based risk assessment and proportionate management by regulators.
