I understood Mr. Gilliam's position to back away from banning BPA in infant formula cans to be the concern over declining nutritional value of "black market" or "flea market" purchases. 

What percentage of the population purchases black/flea market infant formula? 

This is a red herring and sounds like someone has created a "public safety" issue to avoid having to do the right thing for the majority.  The bottom line is economics.  The status quo must be cheaper?
