Canada has classified the Bisphenol A (BPA) which is harmful to humans and the environment . Recall that the BPA is' the major component of polycarbonate plastics used in baby bottles but also in other food containers (bottles for soft drinks with the vacuum system to make plates and cups, films and protective coatings for cans and tubs, etc.. ). BPA can 'migrate into food and beverages stored in materials containing it, can also' cause endometriosis in women and the effects on ability to 'reproductive, a change in fetal development and cause harm to infants' affect the activities' of the endocrine system. The Ministers of Health 'and Environment Canada have called dangerous for human health and the environment BisfenoloA in all its applications and not just for the bottle. This decision contrasts with the decision taken recently by EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority, which found acceptable levels of concentration of bisphenol A in products on the market. We should point out that the bottles to BPA are not used in the United States, are prohibited in Denmark and France and Canada, as mentioned, has extended the ban to all goods.
