"Dream – Nutrient-rich food and drink intake is an important aspect of children's development and growth."
"Not only that, paying attention to the safety of food and drink containers is also our duty as parents to maintain the health of our children. The reason is that there are still many plastic packaging containers circulating that contain the chemical substance Bisphenol A (BPA) which can trigger various serious health issues. This was revealed by pediatrician Dr. Kanya Ayu Paramastri Sp.A, during a discussion at the Talkshow event for the National Children's Day Festival titled 'Healthy Indonesian Children Free from BPA', at Taman Anggrek, Gelora Bung Karno Complex, Senayan, Jakarta on Sunday, July 28, 2024."
"Doctor Kanya explained that there are still many mothers who do not understand about BPA and where it can be found.
“Bisphenol A (BPA) is often found in food and beverage packaging containers, and drinking water gallons that are usually marked with plastic code no. 7, which means it is an industrial chemical used in the production of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resin,” said Kanya."
"In that opportunity, Kanya also explained that research has shown BPA can enter food and beverages, especially if the packaging is exposed to heat or used repeatedly over a long period.
“BPA poses a potential danger if it enters the bodies of children, as it will accumulate until they are adults,”she added."
The potential negative impact of BPA has also become a concern for BPOM with the enactment of BPOM Regulation Number 6 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to the Regulation of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency Number 31 of 2018, regarding Processed Food Labeling. It is known that there are two additional articles related to the labeling of BPA risks on bottled drinking water packaging, namely 48a and 61a, with a four-year transition period for producers to make adjustments.
"Therefore, in response to this, Kanya invites all mothers to ensure that the plastic packaging used, including drinking water gallons, is made from BPA-free materials and to switch to PET-based packaging."
"If mothers buy packaged drinks, always ensure the plastic code is BPA Free. Look for the symbol on the back of the packaging; safe materials to use are those with a triangular symbol coded with the number 1," he said. Previously, MIMS, an official drug information center for medical professionals in the Asia Pacific, conducted a survey in 2023 among doctors in Indonesia, and the result showed that 10 out of 10 doctors agreed that BPA packaging is a good criterion for family gallon."
The same sentiment was expressed by actress and Moms Influencer Le Minerale Putri Titian during the talk show. "As a mother, my children's health is the top priority. We all must provide the best for our families and children. For example, when choosing food and drinks for our children, we also need to pay attention to the packaging," said the mother of two.
"Tian, the familiar greeting of Putri Titian, is very disappointed if parents choose food and drink packaging because it is cute but contains BPA. 'The simplest example is choosing bottled drinking water that is consumed every day; it must be safe, not just choosing unique packaging,' she said."
Seeing this, Junior Liem's wife always chooses the family's daily intake using a gallon that is 100% BPA-free like Le Minerale. According to her, Le Minerale is an example of a product that cares about health because it is safe from harmful chemicals.
"The Le Minerale gallon with the triangle code number one uses polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, which indicates that the Le Minerale gallon is 100% BPA Free. 'Le Minerale is committed to maintaining the health of the Indonesian people by providing BPA-free gallon packaging that is a health solution for children and families,' said Yuna Eka Kristina, Head of Public Relations and Digital Le Minerale on the same occasion."
