EU - Re-evaluation of Bisphenol A by EFSA and BfR
Business description
On April 19, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published the long-awaited re-evaluation of BPA1.
The provisional tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 4 μg bisphenol A (BPA) per kilogram body weight per day derived in 2015 was reduced by a factor of 20,000 to 0.2 ng/kg body weight per day.
The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) has looked closely at the EFSA derivations and has come to a significantly different and very conservative TDI value of 200 ng/kg body weight per day. This value is a factor of 20 lower than EFSA's previous provisional TDI value from 2015.
