BPA poses health risks, prompting EU regulatory action.
Özet
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used in various household items, with the EU banning its use in specific products due to health concerns. The European Commission is considering extending the ban to food contact materials. The ban follows a scientific assessment by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) that highlighted potential health risks associated with BPA exposure. Despite differing opinions on the matter, the impact on the industry and the need for safer alternatives are crucial considerations.
