The American Chemical Society (ACC) praised the California State Assembly for accepting scientific experts' call to ban a resolution that removes the installation and necessary products from the cargo rack. The safety of products that are in contact with food and contain bisphenol A has recently been reaffirmed by the world’s research and government agencies.
“California legislators made the right decisions for consumers.” Dr. Steven G. Hentges of the American Chemical Society's Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group. "The products targeted at this Act have been confirmed by government research institutes around the world, mainly the FDA, to confirm the product's safety."
Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in a variety of products such as crash-resistant polycarbonate plastic baby bottles and epoxy liners in food cans to prevent food contamination. SB1713 resolution addresses the use of bisphenol A in food contact products for children under three years of age. However, it does not consider the full record of bisphenol A for 50 years or government agencies in Europe, Japan, and the United States supporting the investigation of the safety of these products. .
The latest safety assessment from the European Food Safety Authority in July and the New Food Safety Assessment Act of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Bisphenol A in August - as well as reviews by other European and Japanese authorities - have all been confirmed The safety of products made from polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, as well as the safety of these products when used by pregnant women and children.
