Bisphenol A: EFSA launches full re-evaluation focussing on exposure and possible low dose effects

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), in April 2012, started work on its new risk assessment of bisphenol A (BPA), used in food contact materials, focussing in particular on exposure of vulnerable groups. The new opinion will complement earlier scientific advice provided at the request of the European Commission.
