BPA: Lessons from developed to developing countries

This review analyzed peer-reviewed publications in the English literature on human Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure and regulations in developing countries compared to developed countries.
BPA has been reduced or eliminated from food packaging and contact materials such as baby bottles in developed countries either voluntarily or by legislation. The meager data from developing countries shows that human BPA exposure in developing countries is similar to that in developed countries. With minor exceptions, BPA restriction, voluntary or legal, is virtually absent in developing countries of Africa, SE Asia, and South and Central America (Food and Chemical Toxicology, June 2016).
