美國專門推動綠色零售的機構Ecology Center發表報告，發現在208個超商和銀行找來的收據單樣本中，93%數目含雙酚A（BPA）和雙酚S（BPS）。研究指出BPA尤其可致年輕接觸者患糖尿病、痴肥和荷爾蒙紊亂等病症，故歐盟和美國等國家已禁售含BPA成份的嬰幼兒用品。BPS也與BPA化學結構類似，同樣能對人體帶來相若壞處。目前採用零化學品收據單的品牌包括Best Buy；而Trader Joe’s在報告出爐後已承諾尋求新收據物料。

Trader Joe’s, the grocer known for its eclectic products (and Hawaiian-shirt-clad workers), said it will remove two controversial substances from its register receipts.
The chemicals — BPA and BPS — are widespread in register and ATM receipts, according to findings by the Ecology Center, a Michigan-based organization that works with consumers and companies to promote greener products and practices. A study released Wednesday in partnership with Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, a coalition of environmental and health groups, showed BPA and BPS were found in 93% of 208 register receipts tested. They came from a variety of businesses, including major retailers, banks, and gas stations.
小編評：我國在102年就將發票感熱紙的BPA列為應檢驗項目（見下方），這個問題在我國應該是沒有喔～
