The EU will ban the import of baby bottles containing BPA by the middle of next year.

  • 2011-02-08

The European Commission plans to ban the import of baby bottles containing bisphenol A (BPA) by the middle of next year. BPA is an additive in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins; excessive absorption by the human body can disrupt the endocrine system. BPA is commonly used in food containers, baby bottles, and medical devices. The draft legislation stipulates that member states will ban the manufacture of baby bottles containing BPA from March 1, 2011.

From June 1, 2011, baby bottles containing bisphenol A (BPA) were banned from importation into the EU and from the EU market. It was anticipated that this ban would not cover products other than baby bottles, but individual EU member states might consider going further. In Denmark, BPA is prohibited from being used on any materials that come into contact with food intended for children aged 3 and under. Earlier this year, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) stated that small amounts of BPA could be safely used in certain plastic products, and there was currently no evidence to support changing this scientific opinion. However, some non-governmental organizations disagreed with the EFSA's opinion and urged the European Commission to adopt a precautionary principle and ban BPA throughout the EU. European Commissioner for Health John Dalli stated that because there were still some unclear areas indicating that BPA might be harmful to human health, the European Commission decided to ban BPA throughout the EU.
