FDA has rejected a petition from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to ban the use of bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging, according to Plastics Today.
BPA is used in a variety of food and beverage packaging. In recent years, several countries have banned its use in children’s food packaging. France recently announced that it will ban BPA in all food contact packaging by 2014.
