Retailers Woolworths and Big W have announced that they will be phasing out baby feeding bottles containing Bisphenol A (BPA) from their shelves in response to customer demand.

In a statement released this week, the retailers said that they had been working over the last 12 months with suppliers and manufacturers to source baby bottles without BPA.

“As of February 2011, all new stock of baby feeding bottles sold at either a Woolworths supermarket or BIG W store are BPA free. This includes both Woolworths and BIG W Private Label and branded baby feeding bottles,” the statement said.

The statement also warned that some old baby feeding bottle lines were still being phased out, and that customers should look for the BPA free label on packaging to ensure they are purchasing a BPA free product.
