英國(guó)公益團(tuán)體呼吁禁止雙酚A用于食品飲料包裝

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)食品質(zhì)量新聞網(wǎng)消息，英國(guó)公益團(tuán)體Breast Cancer UK呼吁立即禁止雙酚A在食品飲料包裝中的使用。公益團(tuán)體指出，有科學(xué)證據(jù)表明暴露于低劑量雙酚A對(duì)乳腺組織的生長(zhǎng)不利。膳食暴露似乎是人類暴露于雙酚A的主要途徑。然而，英國(guó)食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局認(rèn)為，根據(jù)歐盟食品安全局科學(xué)意見，暴露于食品接觸材料的雙酚A不構(gòu)成安全風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

    部分原文報(bào)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.
