Chemical in baby bottles declared safe

On Friday, August 16, federal regulators claimed a chemical used in baby bottles, canned foods and other items is not dangerous. The small amounts of bisphenol A that are linked to food containers are not dangerous to infants or adults, according to the Food and Drug Administration scientists.

According to the agency, more research is needed to know how the chemicals affect people and it said “there are always uncertainties associated with safety decisions.” Earlier the FDA claimed that the chemical was safe, but has said they will look into the matter more because a report done by the federal National Toxicology Program said there was “some concern” about the threat to infants.
