On Saturday March 14, BBC News featured an item about BPA in baby feeding bottles. And in recent months many environmental groups have expressed concerns that the BPA contained in baby feeding bottles could ‘leach’ or leak out into a baby’s milk from the plastic when heated under certain conditions, or when bottles were cracked or scratched. This, they claimed, could result in health concerns for babies and children.
Bisphenol A has been intensively scrutinised for a long period of time and no credible scientific evidence has yet been found as to whether BPA is damaging to humans. The Department of Health and the Food Standards Agency are among many national and international bodies to publicly state that polycarbonate is safe to use and Tommee Tippee has followed all advice while closely monitoring all available information about the issue.
