It’s refreshing to see the dangers of Bisphenol-A hitting the mainstream media. Consumer advocacy group Choice are demanding that BPA be removed from tinned foodthat are fed to infants and toddlers in Australia. 38 samples were tested, and of those, 29 were revealed to have potentially harmful levels of BPA. These weren’t no name brands either, three of the products mentioned were Edgell corn kernels, John West tuna olive oil blend and Heinz smooth custard with banana. Funnily enough, today, Heinz have purchased Google Adwords for the phrase ‘bpa free baby bottles’ linking to this press release which states from 1st July 2010, Heinz will be phasing out BPA in their baby food. Looks like they weren’t quick enough to beat the Choice survey!
There are many safe alternatives to BPA. If you are at all concerned, it is wise to research any product before you make your purchase. Our online store, Shop Naturally, only sells BPA free homewares & baby feeding products, including BPA free baby bottles, feeding plates made from corn starch and more. While we offer many stainless steel alternatives, there are safe plastics around that do not contain the harmful Bisphenol-A, and choosing a safe baby bottle is just so important to give your child the safest possible start in life.
