Евросоюз запретил использовать бисфенол А в упаковках для продуктов питания

On January 20, January 20, the European Regulation came into force to prohibit the use of bisphenol A in materials contacting with food products, to reduce the effects of this endocrine disruptor on the health of citizens, the Euronews television channel reports.This article was first published in French
language Bisphenol A is now not allowed to be used for manufacturing containers for food products in the EU: from 20 January the European Commission banned any contact of this substance with food and beverages because of potentially harmful effects on health
– in particular, on reproductive and endocrine systems. Bisphenol A, an organic compound of the phenol group, often used in the manufacturing of plastic products,
including bottles for water, coatings for metal jars and kitchen utensils. After the transition period, the use of bisphenol A, also known as BPA, will be banned in the manufacturing of adhesives, rubbers, resins, plastics, paints printing and silicones, varnishes and coatings, which may contact
food products. This high content of bisphenol A represents a very significant source of impact. This substance “is
“associated with such health problems as breast cancer, neurobehavioral disorders and diabetes,” she adds. The prohibition follows the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which in 2023 came to the conclusion that the impact
of BPA on the health of consumers of all ages is related to dietary nutrition. Since 2011 this chemical is banned
from use in products,The European Union is the pioneer in the bans of bisphenols. But this ban is the result of a long scientific and
political process, which Sandra Jen thinks that it has taken too long. “Scientists have been calling for a bisphenol A ban for more than dozens of years. The European European Environmental Protection Agency published a report on the problems related to
bisphenol A, more than decades ago, ” she noted. “So the process has been long, and now we hope that the decisions and the following measures, about the
use of bisphenol in other consumer products, will be taken quickly,” Sandra Jen continued. NGOs hope that the EU will
agree to extend the scope of the bisphenol A ban.
