Consumers can take several steps to reduce their exposure to BPA:
Use BPA-free products, especially for food and drink storage. Avoid heating food in plastic containers, as heat can increase the leaching of BPA. Opt for glass, porcelain, or stainless steel containers, particularly for hot foods and liquids. Check recycling codes on plastic products; avoid plastics marked with recycling codes 3 or 7, as they may contain BPA.
