What is the beverage industry doing to address this issue?
The industry is taking proactive action to minimize the formation of benzene in beverages – even at safe levels. The American Beverage Association has been working with the beverage industry to make sure products are being reviewed, tested and reformulated when necessary. As part of this effort, the ABA has developed formal guidance for companies on how to minimize benzene formation. It is sharing this information with companies worldwide to make sure companies have – and use – the best known practices for controlling benzene formation.
