Ban BPA in our food packaging
To stop using BPA (bisphenol A) in our food packaging and use saver alternatives. Packaging should clearly state if BPA has been used.
Why is this important?
Scientific evidence links our routine exposure to BPA to a range of diseases, including breast cancer.
Scientific studies have found that an important route of exposure to BPA is via our food and drink. BPA leaches from the packaging and into the products, especially when they are scratched or heated during cooking and in the dishwasher.
As diet continues to be our main route of exposure to BPA, lets call for it to be removed from all food and drinks packaging and replaced with safer alternatives.
