EFSA Launches Study of BPA’s Effect on Immune System

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has launched a new working
group “to evaluate new scientific evidence on the potential effects of
bisphenol A (BPA) on the immune system.” Prompted by a Dutch
National Institute for Public Health and the Environment report on new
studies “describing pre- and perinatal effects of BPA on the immune
system,” EFSA’s Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavorings
and Processing Aids plans to issue a scientific statement on BPA and
immunotoxicity at its September 13-15, 2016, plenary meeting. See EFSA
News Release, June 20, 2016.
