BPA Receipts
There has been recent publicity about thermal paper receipts containing a chemical, bisphenol A (BPA). BPA can often be found on receipts collected from supermarkets, automated teller machines, gas stations and chain stores. Although BPA can transfer from paper receipts to the skin, the level of absorption is low and the health risk is also considered to be low. The City has numerous cash registers and debit/credit cards machines that use thermal paper to produce receipts but all paper now being received is BPA-free and older product in stock is being exchanged as a precaution.
