Health Canada has concerns over Bisphenol A

Published by sirenavs at 10:01 pm under Health and Wellness, recalls

I just wanted to give a heads up to another article on Bisphenol A and the recalls that have been occurring this week.

Health Canada has decided that there is cause for concern regarding Bisphenol A, especially relating to infants and young children. They will be putting up controls to limit bisphenol A in products and for the next 60 days there will be a public comment period where people can try to change the governments position in regards to the chemical.

For the time being, Health Canada is urging parents to choose plastics that are bisphenol A free or to use glass bottles.
