What the campaign is about
- BPA is a mass produced chemical which is used in a wide range of everyday products including plastic food packaging, plastic tableware and tin can linings.
- There is an increasing amount of scientific evidence that links low level exposure to BPA to a range of adverse health effects including breast cancer.
- In 2010, BCUK was at the forefront of a successful campaign to ban the use BPA in baby bottles across the EU.
- We are now calling on the EU to ban the use of BPA in all food and drink products and replace it with a safer alternative.
-
BCUK is also calling on the UK Government to include hazardous chemicals such as BPA as preventable risk factors in the UK’s Strategy for Cancer and NHS Cancer Plan.
