Bisphenol A Levels in Infant Formula and Foods from 2010-2011

Chemical testing results for Bisphenol A (BPA) contamination in infant formula and foods. The dataset supports a Canadian Food Inspection Agency bulletin published for the period April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011. It contains analytical measurements from the Food Safety Action Plan chemical testing program.

Use Cases

• Analyze BPA concentration levels across different infant food product types.
• Correlate testing results with sample collection dates and locations to identify temporal or regional trends.
• Assess compliance rates against regulatory thresholds for BPA in infant nutrition products.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative national food safety regulator, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
• Covers a defined one-year monitoring period from April 2010 to March 2011.

Limitations

• The dataset's age means findings may not reflect current contamination levels or modern manufacturing practices.
• Specific sample size, row count, and column details are unknown, limiting reproducibility.
