As the EU is considering a ban on bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging based on the European Food Safety Authority’s (EFSA’s) recent lowering of its tolerable daily intake (TDI) for the chemical, an international group of academic experts has penned their support for the historically comprehensive and conservative risk assessment that led to EFSA’s establishment of the new BPA TDI. The experts refute other regulatory agencies’ disagreements with EFSA’s nontraditional risk assessment process and call on institutions around the world to modernize their approaches to risk assessment for and regulation of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).
