It is going to take quite a while to get it removed from other packaging, as it's so widely used by the packaged food industry. BBC:
The European Commission has announced a ban on the use of Bisphenol-A (BPA) in plastic baby bottles.
The commission cited fears that the compound could affect development and immune response in young children.
The EU ban will come into effect during 2011.
There has been concern over the use of BPA for some time, with six US manufacturers removing it in 2009 from bottles they sold in the US, although not other markets.
