I intended to answer the burning question “Does the new Similac packaging contain BPA?” in Dear SafeMama yesterday. But after I spoke with Similac®, I decided it warranted it’s own post because frankly, I am getting tired of trying to decipher their carefully orchestrated responses.

I am not shocked that they still back it’s safety, although they do admit that more research is needed.

The FDA recently told the world that BPA is safe for humans. Right, right… I forgot we are supposed to take their word for it.

I’m sure you have all heard by now that the FDA recently deemed Bisphenol-a safe, and poses no threat to humans at the levels contained in consumer products. I can’t say I am surprised.

When I was living in California, I was always annoyed whenever I was watching TV, during an election, because I had never lived in a state that so quite in your face with political commercials.
