According to foodproductiondaily.com, Green Century, a group that manages environmentally responsible mutual funds, claims that the FDA is failing the American public because it has not produced a decision on BPA’s safety by the November 30 deadline that the agency had set for itself. Bisphenol A has caused concern because some studies have linked its use to health problems. An advocate for Green Century pointed out the financial and health risks associated with using such chemicals as BPA. The group believes innovative companies should aggressively pursue BPA-free alternatives.
