EU bans BPA in food-contact packaging from 20 July

From 20 July 2025, new EU regulations will ban the use of Bisphenol A (BPA) in packaging that comes into direct contact with food. BPA is a chemical linked to hormonal disruption and other health risks. The rules include some exceptions, but the vast majority of food-contact packaging will need to comply with the new requirements.

Does the EU's BPA ban adequately protect consumers?

The scientists stress that bumblebees play a vital role in ecosystems as pollinators and should not be harmed. The findings highlight the need for better monitoring of environmental pollutants that affect insects.

Columnist jokes Poland deserves World Cup title just for showing up

Columnist Katarzyna Kasia satirically comments on Poland's World Cup exit, joking that if she were president she would call FIFA chief Gianni Infantino and demand Poland be awarded the world title in compensation. The piece mocks both Poland's poor tournament showing and Donald Trump's reported calls to Infantino on football matters. It is a humorous op-ed, not a news report.
