The Z Report on Bisphenol-A in Children's Feeding Products
The third edition of the Z Report on Bisphenol-A (BPA) in Children's Feeding Products is out, with ratings on bottles, cups, breast pumps, pacifiers, utensils and tableware regarding BPA content.Why be concerned about bisphenol-A? BPA is a plasticizer used to produce some types of plastics and is also known to be a hormone-mimicking chemical. On the flip side, there is no hard evidence that BPA can leach out of infant feeding products at levels high enough to harm human health and the FDA continues to maintain that such plastics are safe.
The Z Report groups brands into the following categories, BPA-Free, Excellent, Good, Fair and Poor. BPA-Free brands include the following:
Adiri | Baby Bjorn | Baby Cie | Babylife (Wee-go) | BFree | Born Free | Brita | DCI | Emily Green | Green to Grow | iPlay | Kidbasix | KidCo | Klean Kanteen | Medela | Mother's Milkmate | Not Neutral | Nurture Pure | Rivadossi Sandro (Trebimbi) | SIGG | Silikids | Skip*Hop | Thermos | thinkbaby
Take a read to see where your baby's and kid's feeding products fall.
