چکیده
On the 25th July, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) launched an open consultation on a draft assessment of consumer exposure to BPA performed by the EFSA’s Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF Panel). This was the Authority’s first review of exposure to BPA since 2006 and the first to cover both dietary and non-dietary sources. Data from scientific literature was collected and considered in the exposure assessment.
