What Are the Regulatory Stances on BPA Alternatives?
Regulatory agencies around the world have taken different stances on BPA and its alternatives. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the use of BPA in baby bottles and sippy cups but considers it safe in other applications at current exposure levels. The European Union has stricter regulations and has limited the use of BPA in food contact materials. Meanwhile, the safety and regulatory status of BPA alternatives like BPS and BPF remain under evaluation, with some regions considering similar restrictions.
