Bisphenol A (BPA) is living on borrowed time. And not just in the United States but now in Europe too where mounting consumer hostility and scientific concern over its safety have combined to push the chemical towards the point of no return.

“I have a bad feeling about this.” Luke Skywalker’s warning in the movie blockbuster Star Wars could equally be applied to consumers’ concerns about Bisphenol A (BPA).
The EU's food agency today set a maximum limit for human daily
intakes of bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical implicated as a potential
carcinogen and widely used in plastic food packaging and cans.
