What Is BPA Plastic?
BPA is short for bisphenol-a, which is a chemical used in the production of polycarbonate plastics that are used in plastic baby bottles, drinking bottles, and storage containers. These materials have a smooth feel that approximates glass, yet they are extremely durable. Polycarbonate plastics are also used in the lining of almost all food and beverage cans because they do not change the flavor of the food and drink items that are stored inside them. Things like pasta sauce, canned fruits and vegetables, canned beans, and canned chili are all contained in cans that are lined with PBA plastic.
