Recent testing for phthalates and bisphenols like BPA in foods found all but one sample to contain phthalates and 79 percent of samples to contain bisphenols. Phthalates were present at worryingly high levels, although levels of bisphenols have decreased since 2009. The study was conducted by Consumer Reports.
A panel of consumer organizations and public health experts are asking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to rescind approvals for bisphenol A (BPA) usage in food and beverage packaging.
