BPA-free plastic refers to plastic products that do not contain bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical often used in the production of certain plastics and resins. BPA has raised health concerns because it can leach into food and beverages, potentially affecting human health. As a result, many manufacturers have started producing BPA-free alternatives to ensure safety for consumers. These BPA-free plastics are commonly used in items like water bottles, food containers, and baby products. While they are considered safer, it is important to note that not all BPA-free plastics are created equal, and some may still contain other chemicals that could pose health risks.
