Canada classifies bisphenol A as toxic

Canada has recently become the first country in the world to list bisphenol A in the list of toxic substances. A recently completed study showed that most Canadians have plastic additives in their bodies and the Canadian government made this decision.

However, the Australian Food and Consumer Products Council believes that there is no scientific basis to prove that the use of bisphenol A in the lining of food cans is harmful to health. The council’s spokesperson, Jeffrey Ann Nissen, said: “Even on an international scale, there is no evidence that bisphenol A contained in canned or bottled food packaging endangers human health. The safety of products containing bisphenol A has been All of them are hot issues that the industry is concerned about, and have been subject to a lot of rigorous investigations. In recent years, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have all reviewed the latest findings and confirmed that it is safe to continue to use bisphenol A in food packaging.”

The American Chemical Industry Council also believes that Canada's actions "are not based on the best available data and scientific knowledge."

However, Denmark has banned the use of bisphenol A in food contact materials, and some states in France and the United States have also banned the use of baby bottles.
