NEWSBYTE: California Restricts BPA in Bottles and Cups for Children


The Governor of California recently signed a law limiting the amount of Bisphenol A (BPA) allowed in food and beverage use bottles and cups for children 3 years of age and younger. Under the law, as of July 1, 2013, these items cannot contain more than 0.1 parts per billion (ppb) BPA. California joins the growing number of states, including New York, Wisconsin and Washington, that have enacted laws related to BPA in various products, although it is the first state to specify a BPA limit rather than prohibiting any amount of BPA.

To view the enacted amendment:
