Health Canada Draft Assessment Supports Safety of B...(for additional scientific study identifi...),Health

While consumers should have confidence in the safety of these products, we have called on the US Food and Drug Administration, as the premier authority on food safety in the US, to re-review the safety of bisphenol A for additional reassurance to the public on the safety of consumer products.
