Yep, not only is the FDA not going to ban BPA from food and drink containers but they don't want to even require companies to label which type of plastic they are using in food/drink containers.

Thankfully there are some manufacturers who are doing this labeling voluntarily.

The revolving door and corruption is everywhere in these agencies so no shocker. What's sad is we pay for all this treatment. They approve questionable stuff all the time then yrs later there are all these class action lawsuits from all the victims. Even the organic industry is infected. Good old corporatization. Mercury fillings don't matter either, but don't eat that tuna.
