“Beverage Online” reports fourteen of the largest public packaged food and beverage companies still use the controversial chemical bisphenol A (BPA) in their packaging despite studies linking the synthetic sex hormone to developmental problems, heart disease and diabetes, according to Seeking Safer Packaging, a new report by investors Green Century Capital Management (“Green Century”) and As You Sow.
