FDA Science Board Subcommittee on Food Contact Applications of BPA

by on

Follow up to previous postings on toxicological impact of Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure, this new report by the FDA Science Board subcommittee that “…provides advice primarily to the Commissioner of the USFDA and other appropriate officials on specific complex and technical issues as well as emerging issues within the scientific community. The focus of this [temporary] Subcommittee is the scientific peer-review of the draft assessment prepared by the FDA of bisphenol A for use in food contact applications. Members of the subcommittee were selected by the Science Board for their expertise in scientific disciplines relating specifically to the issues assessed in the FDA draft safety assessment. It is the purpose of the Subcommittee to provide advice and make preliminary recommendations regarding the FDA draft safety assessment for subsequent action by the full Board.”

  • “The draft FDA report does not articulate reasonable and appropriate scientific support for the criteria applied to select data for use in the assessment…The Subcommittee finds that the assessment lacks an adequate characterization of uncertainties in its estimates of both exposure and effects…the Margins of Safety defined by FDA as “adequate” are, in fact, inadequate.”
