May 19 – EU: Denmark Introduces Temporary Ban of Bisphenol A, Other EU Countries Assess Similar Ban

From the Bureau Veritas Group:

Based on a new assessment by the National Food Institute at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Food), the Danish government has decided to invoke the principle of precaution and introduce a temporary national ban on Bisphenol A (BPA) in materials that are in contact with food for children aged 0-3 years of age. Effective as of 1 July 2010, BPA is not allowed in Denmark in products covered by the ban. Other European countries, such as France, are also considering a complete ban of the substance.
