dc.description.abstractMaterials and articles intended to contact with food (Food Contact Materials; FCMs), including food packaging, are not generally realize to be a chemical health threat when compared to pesticides, veterinary drugs, heavy metals or mycotoxins that are well recognised food contaminants arising from agricultural practices, the environment or improper food storage. However, within the last decade, it has become accepted that FCMs are significant contributors to human xenobiotics’ due to the worldwide debate on such substances like bisphenol A and their impact on the endocrine system. This sustains risk management decisions for placing limits of human exposure to this compound, especially when directed towards vulnerable groups like infants and small children. Dietary exposure to chemical substances from food packaging and other food contact materials may occur as a result of migration from the packaging materials into the food products. Migration tests of chemical substances from FCMs into foodstuffs or food simulants, which simulate the eluting properties of food, are used for evaluating consumer exposure to these substances. Methods: A comprehensive and exhaustive review was carried out based on the determination of bisphenol A in epoxy resins. The analytical methods are summarized and discussed. The results of the studies are addressed and main achievements are compiled. Results and conclusions: In this review, we give an overview of the implications of BPA in materials in contact with food, the analytical techniques used to determine their migration and the current EFSA's position on the legality of the use of BPA in food contact materials.pt_PT
