Bisphenol A safe?
This article was originally published in The Tan Sheet
Executive Summary
Results of National Toxicology Program research prompt Michigan Democrats John Dingell, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Bart Stupak, Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, to ask FDA to reconsider the safety of the chemical bisphenol A in products intended for use by infants and children. In an April 14 draft brief, the NTP concludes there is "some concern for neural and behavioral effects in fetuses, infants, and children at current human exposures" and "the possibility that bisphenol A may alter human development cannot be dismissed." Stupak says FDA relied on two industry-funded studies to determine the chemical's safety while other authorities "used all available data to reach vastly different conclusions"...

FDA says BPA exposure is safe
FDA concludes the current levels of bisphenol A - a chemical in the container liners of prepared liquid infant formula - that transfer to foods and are absorbed by children are "safe," according to a draft report released Aug. 14. Based on published risk assessments, the agency estimates BPA exposure from food contact materials in infants is less than half the established level for no observed adverse effect. Some scientists, physicians and children's health advocates "expressed outrage" with the agency's conclusion, according to a release from the Center for Health Environment and Justice. Dissenters say FDA relies on two studies funded by the American Chemical Council and ignores dozens of other studies that highlight risks. FDA, however, says that limits in study design and data quality are insufficient to lower the current NOAEL for BPA.

FDA chief scientist wants BPA review
At the request of newly appointed FDA Chief Scientist Frank M. Torti, a new Science Board subcommittee will hold a public meeting on the safety of bisphenol-A in plastics, review an FDA Task Force report on BPA and deliver its findings to the Science Board's annual meeting in the fall, according to a June 6 FDA release. The Task Force will make recommendations to Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach following its review.

Dingell, Stupak ask firms to remove BPA
Michigan Democrats John Dingell, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Bart Stupak ask infant formula makers Abbott, Mead Johnson, Nestle and PBM to voluntarily remove the chemical bisphenol A from their infant formula packaging. Dingell and Stupak in April asked FDA to reconsider BPA's safety in infant products (1"The Tan Sheet" April 12, 2008, In Brief). "We believe this measure will help protect developing infants and children from the neural, behavioral and developmental risks of BPA" and provide reassurance to concerned parents, the congressmen say in their May 6 letter to the firms. The lawmakers ask the companies to respond in writing to their letter and deliver a response to subcommittee no later than May 20...
