Don't Want BPA Leaching Into Your Child's Meals?

Online, January 3, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Yellow Margosa has added lunch boxes to its range of BPA free tableware for children.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical building block used to make polycarbonate and epoxy resins and other products. Concerns about the use of BPA in consumer products were regularly reported in the news media in 2008 after several governments issued reports questioning its safety, prompting some retailers to remove products containing it from their shelves.

A 2010 report from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) raised further concerns regarding exposure of fetuses, infants and young children. In September 2010, Canada became the first country to declare BPA as a toxic substance. In the European Union and Canada BPA use is banned in baby bottles.

Yellow Margosa was set up in 2009 in response to the concerns raised about the safety of BPA and in order to address the gap in BPA free dinnerware options for children. The company launched with a range of stainless steel kids dinner trays, tumblers, mugs and snack bowls as an option to plastic dinnerware for children.

Children regularly come in touch with plastic exposing them to BPA and phthalates at every meal and snack time, three to five times a day. Leaching can increase when plastic containers are used in the microwave or washed in the dishwasher. Replacing plastic tableware with BPA free dishes is an effective way of eliminating possible BPA exposure at meal times.

The newly launched stainless steel lunch containers by Yellow Margosa come in two sizes and can be used by adults as well as children. Stainless steel has been around for generations and unlike plastic it does not leach and is also 100% recyclable. It is an effective and eco-friendly option to plastic food containers and storage.
