I will be off line for at least the next 3 days!! Carolyn TORONTO, OCT.18 --- Canada declared a chemical widely used in food packaging a toxic substance on Saturday and will now move to ban plastic baby bottles containing bisphenol A. The toxic classification, issued in the Canada Gazette, makes Canada the first country to classify the chemical commonly used in THE LINING OF FOOD CANS, EYEGLASS LENSES, AND HUNDREDS of household items, as risky. "Todays's confirmation of our ban on BPA in baby bottles proves that our government did the right thing in taking action to protect the health and environment for all Canadians." Environment Minister Baird said in a statement. Baby bottles frequently contain BPA, used to harden plastic and make it shatterproof. Several U>S> states are considering restrticting BPA use, some manufacturers have begun promoting BPA-free baby bottles, and some stores are phasing out baby products containing the chemical. The European Union and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration say the chemical is safe. However, the FGDA is awaiting word from a panel expected to deliver an independent risk assessment this month.
