April 28, 2008 -- The FDA is looking into concerns about the safety of bisphenol A, which is found in polycarbonate plastic (including some baby bottles, water bottles, and other food and drink packaging) and epoxy resins (which line some metal products including canned foods). The FDA has formed an agency-wide BPA (bisphenol A) task force to review concerns noted in a bisphenol A draft report recently issued by scientists from the National Toxicology Program and in a separate risk assessment by Canadian health officials.
