It's legal. According to the FDA and the infant formula industry, which adheres to federal packaging guidelines, it is safe.

Formula maker Nestle USA says all U.S. formula companies use cans from suppliers who use bisphenol-A. "The FDA has found these materials to be safe, and to pose no risk whatsoever to consumers. We stand by our products in these type of cans as being safe," the company says.

"There are inherent risks in any material that could be considered for packaging," says Mead-Johnson, makers of Enfamil. "Babies are what we do and safety is of paramount importance. We don't consider there to be a risk."

I don't know, it just seems so strange that these companies never take into account the cumulative effect of their decisions to use toxic chemicals. Sure, maybe one can of formula isn't going to cause cancer, but that one can, plus all the other cans, plus all the other bisphenol A in the environment just might cause a baby harm. You don't put a baby in a bubble with just one can of formula, then say "that's safe." Hopefully this will persuade some women on the fence to take the plunge and go ahead and BF.
