Lisette van Vliet of the Health and Environment Alliance said in a statement: \u201cWe are pleased that BPA will be banned in baby bottles in 2011, but this is not enough. BPA should come out of all food contact materials so that babies are not exposed before birth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bisphenol A is one of the world&#8217;s most commonly-used chemicals, found in food containers, medical equipment and mobile-phone casings. But concerns have grown about its effects on human health when it is ingested into the body via contact with bottles, tin cans and tableware. <BR><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<footer class=\"content-credits\">\n<h6>Authors:<\/h6>\n<dl class=\"vcard\">\n<dt class=\"credits-author\"><span class=\"vcard\">Jennifer Rankin<\/span>&nbsp;<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EU to ban chemical in baby bottles Bisphenol A ban to take effect from mid-2011, but campaigners say more needs to be done.
