The wide use of bisphenol A (BPA) as a monomer in plastics manufacture or epoxy resins intended for food contact materials (FCM) has triggered numerous concerns due to toxicological findings indicating possible endocrine disrupting properties. This article traces the evolution of the scientific opinions since 1986 when the Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) for BPA and its specific migration limit (SML) from plastic FCM into food were proposed for the first time by the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF). Resent extensive scientific studies concerning refined data on toxicity and exposure to BPA from food and non-food sources (eg. dust, cosmetics, thermal paper), including the most vulnerable groups of population, allowed the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to reduce the TDI of BPA from previously 50 μg/kg bw/day to now 4 μg/kg bw/day. EFSA’s latest scientific opinion published in 2015 concludes that basing on the current estimations of total exposure to BPA from dietary and non-dietary sources for infants, children and adolescents is below the temporary TDI of 4 μg/kg bw/day. EFSA has also underlined that BPA poses no health risk at the estimated exposure levels of any population age group, including unborn children and the elderly. However, EFSA has indicated that some data on exposure and toxicological effects still require clarifications.

Food packaging may be a potential source of food contamination due to chemical constituents migration from packaging materials. To assure the food contact materials safety the relevant legislation is established. For the food contact materials and articles where is no harmonised EU legislation (eg. colorants, silicones, paper and board, rubber) the Council of Europe establishes the Resolution containing the special requirements. According to EU legislation related to materials and articles intended to come into contact with food, in general, food contact articles should not release substances in quantities that may endanger human health or change the organoleptic characteristics. The final product should fulfil the requirements for the overall migration limit (OML) and specific migration limit (SML) of the chemical substances. Testing migration for the compliance with the limits of global migration and specific migration from the final product to the food simulants should be performed according to the relevant EC Directives. The current Polish legislation related to food contact materials and article implementing the provision of the relevant EC Directives was presented.
