FDA rejects call to ban BPA from food packaging

[freshwest]

1. The FDA should have erred on the side of caution. Other countries have banned it:

'...Several countries have introduced voluntary measures or laws to stop the manufacture of baby bottles with BPA and published guidelines on safer use of these containers.

"Canada, the European Union, China, and at least five other countries as well as 11 US states, all have prohibited the use of BPA in children's products," the NRDC said.'

I first heard of this years ago from people I know in Canada. Is the FDA implying that Canada and the EU didn't do sufficient research before they banned it?

Obama has just done us a service by getting COO labeling back, which Bush disallowed, despite consumers needing it to make informed decisions. The FDA has failed again.

I don't buy their lukewarm claim at the OP link that they welcome more studies and will reverse this later. The people of the USA deserve better than this.
