International pressure to eliminate BPA from food containers is growing. Following rising public concern about the use of toxic chemicals in baby bottles, Australia’s major retail chains have voluntarily decided to phase out bottles that contain Bisphenol-A (BPA), starting 1 July. “The Australian Government appreciates there has been a level of public concern relating to BPA in baby bottles and, as such, has worked extensively with retailers to introduce the phase out,” said Health Secretary Mark Butler.
