the european food safety authority efsa has published its final conclusion on the safety of bisphenol a bpa, declaring that it poses no health risk to consumers at current exposure levels.bpa, used to create polycarbonate, has been assessed and tested in a number of studies, with this most recent and definitive assessment concluding that &lsquobpa poses no health risk to consumers of any group&rsquo.the findings of this study were obtained using a wide range of scientific views, with the results consistent with those of the us food and drug administration fda.bpa has recently been banned across all food packaging in france and the pcbpa group is now hoping that these discoveries will reverse the decision.&ldquothe fact that any realistic exposure to bpa is well below even the conservative safety threshold established by efsa shows that blanket restrictions being applied at national level, in particular in france, are unjustified and should be withdrawn,&rdquo says jasmin bird of the pcbpagroup. &ldquothis efsa conclusion on bpa should be used as the basis for consistent and harmonised european food safety regulation, and should be respected by all eu member states.&rdquothe efsa is an independent european agency that provides independent scientific advice and clear communication on existing and emerging risk assessment regarding food and feed safety.
