The concerned parents, consumer groups and politicians can leave their worries aside as the controversial chemical known by the name of bisphenol A and used in the manufacturing of baby bottles, can linings and other similar items poses no threat for the little ones, experts of the Food and Drug Administration said Friday.

FDA scientists said that the traces of bisphenol A – a substance used to seal canned food and make shatterproof bottles - that leach out of the containers are not dangerous for babies. The FDA had previously stated that bisphenol A was safe, but then said it would revisit that statement after National Toxicology Program report which concluded that there might be “some concern” about it when it comes to infants.

After studying animals, the government-funded group reached the conclusion that bisphenol A could lead to some behavioral and brain modifications, thus reducing survival and birth weight in fetuses. According to a study carried out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 93% of U.S. citizens have traces of the above-mentioned substance in their urine.

However, the FDA report said that those traces were thousands of times below what would actually be dangerous to humans. The chemical’s safety will be more thoroughly debated in a September meeting, but several lawmakers said they won’t wait for the final review of the agency. Canada has already taken steps to ban bisphenol A in baby bottles, while U.S. lawmakers banned the use of the substance in the children-destined products.
