Are plastic bottles safe for bottled water drinking products?
According to the American Plastics Council, “Polycarbonate plastics, which are used in some baby bottles and kitchen storage containers, are safe and convenient for the preparation and storage of all types of foods and beverages. Recent news reports have questioned the safety of bisphenol A (BPA), a raw material used in polycarbonate plastics. Most recently, the May 1999 edition of Consumer Reports drew unfounded and irresponsible conclusions about the safety of polycarbonate baby bottles. However, based on a wealth of safety tests, the FDA permits the use of BPA in polycarbonate packaging for all types of food.
