Rate This

Canada has announced it will proceed with drafting regulations to ban the importation, advertising and sale of polycarbonate baby bottles containing bisphenol A (BPA). Measures will also be taken to reduce the amount of BPA that is released into the environment.

Tony Clement, Minister of Health, said "In 2007, we issued a challenge to industry under our Chemicals Management Plan to provide information on how they manage bisphenol A. Today's announcement is a milestone for our government and for Canada as the first country in the world to take regulatory action."
