Bisphenol A: EFSA to complete re-evaluation by the end of 2014

EFSA is extending the timeline to complete its full risk assessment of bisphenol A (BPA) to the end of 2014. This will give EFSA’s scientists sufficient time to assess the high number of comments submitted during the public consultation on its safety evaluation of the chemical.
In January 2014, EFSA asked stakeholders and other interested parties to provide feedback on the second part of its draft opinion on the human health risks of BPA. The Authority received almost 250 responses during the two-month consultation and considers it essential that it has a full understanding of these comments before finalising its risk assessment of BPA (EFSA News Story, 9 April 2014).
