食品接触材料中双酚A暴露风险及风险管理

双酚A被广泛应用于食品接触材料中,人体暴露于双酚A可能会带来健康问题.目前中国是世界上最大的双酚A生产国,在全国范围内尚未对双酚A的暴露量进行系统性评估,缺乏相应的食品接触材料数据库.因此,了解食品接触材料迁移的双酚A暴露风险及国内外主要的风险管理措施,对于中国食品安全风险管理策略的制定及消费者食品选择指导具有重要的意...

Risk Analysis and Management of Dietary Exposure to Bisphenol A from Food Contact Materials

Bisphenol A (BPA) is widely used in food contact materials. Exposure to BPA may cause health problems. China is the biggest producing country of BPA, and there is no systematical exposure assessment of BPA and lack of database of food contact material. This study aims to understand the exposure risk of BPA transferred from food contact materials and the main risk management approaches in China and abroad, which is of great significance for formulation of food safety risk management strategy in China and consumer food selection guidance. It has been found that the toxicity of BPA is mainly manifested in endocrine interference, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity and genetic toxicity. The assessment results of BPA exposure in many countries showed that people all over the world were under the condition of exposure to BPA, and strict management protocols has been adopted on the use of BPA in food contacted materials. The BPA assessment in China shows that the level of BPA exposure is lower than temporary tolerable daily intake recommended by European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which is within the acceptable range. However, with the continuous growth of people''s consumption demand for plastic products, the risk of exposure to BPA is increasing, which might trigger more adverse consequences. It is suggested that China should pay more attention to BPA and its supervision, and relevant departments need to organize nation-widely systematic BPA exposure assessment as soon as possible, and pay close attention to the research trends of BPA in time, so as to reduce the potential risk of BPA.
