Bisphenol A and its analogues belong to the class of endocrine disrupting chemicals, massively employed by industries to produce polycarbonate and epoxy resins, designed to be in direct contact with foodstuffs. Their leaching from the canned packaging into its content results in food contamination. This review aims at offering a country-specific overview of the occurrence of bisphenols in six main categories of foodstuff marketed in the EU, based on monitoring studies performed in the 27 EU countries for which data are available and prevalently published in the last five years. The general overview of the literature data shows that concentration values of BPs detected into foodstuff is lower in Northern Europe than Southern Europe. A probable daily intake was hypothesized for some countries to provide an EU population exposure assessment. The consumption of canned meat and vegetables is responsible of PDI values higher than those of other food categories. These data emphasize that food and beverage monitoring should deserve greater attention especially by European countries for which no studies are available and especially with regards to bisphenols other than BPA whose limits are not set by the European regulations and whose toxicity has not been fully established.
双酚 A 及其类似物属于内分泌干扰化学物质类，被大量用于生产聚碳酸酯和环氧树脂的工业中，旨在与食品直接接触。它们会从罐头包装中浸出到食品中，导致食品污染。本综述旨在根据 27 个欧盟国家在过去五年中进行的监测研究，提供欧盟市场上六大类食品中双酚的存在情况的国家特定概述。文献数据的总体概述表明，在北欧检测到的 BP 浓度值低于南欧。对于一些国家，假设了每日摄入量，以提供欧盟人群的暴露评估。罐头肉类和蔬菜的消费导致 PDI 值高于其他食品类别。这些数据强调，食品和饮料监测应该得到更多关注，特别是对于没有研究的欧洲国家，特别是对于欧洲法规没有设定限量且其毒性尚未完全确定的除 BPA 以外的双酚。
