英国公益团体呼吁禁止双酚A用于食品饮料包装

    食品伙伴网讯  据食品质量新闻网消息，英国公益团体Breast Cancer UK呼吁立即禁止双酚A在食品饮料包装中的使用。公益团体指出，有科学证据表明暴露于低剂量双酚A对乳腺组织的生长不利。膳食暴露似乎是人类暴露于双酚A的主要途径。然而，英国食品标准局认为，根据欧盟食品安全局科学意见，暴露于食品接触材料的双酚A不构成安全风险。

    部分原文报道如下：

    Breast Cancer UK has called for the immediate ban on the use of bisphenol A （BPA） in food and drinks packaging as part of a manifesto launched at a parliamentary reception this week.

    There is scientific evidence that concludes that low level exposure to the endocrine disrupting chemical （BPA）， has an adverse effect on the development of breast tissue, said the charity.

    Dietary exposure appears to be the main route of human exposure to BPA and continued uncertainty about the chemical's safety means that the precautionary principle should be used to mandate exposure elimination.
