The ones I've been able to source easily are Phenol-Free, which used to be a pain to find before the eu ban, those are (I think) bpa and bps free at least. I'll need to double check to be certain though, I haven't considered them replacing BPA woth BPS, that definitely makes it a false sense of safety

It's been regulated since 2020 in Europe at least.

> As part of the EU’s REACH Regulation Annex XVII, a restriction banning Bisphenol A (BPA) content in thermal paper above 0.02% by weight came into effect on January 2, 2020. This prohibition was implemented due to health concerns associated with BPA exposure

bpa free thermal paper is pretty easy to source from anywhere now because of this.

Unless you're in Europe.

so unless you're buying old rolls, or from non reputable sources, it shouldn't be an issue in the EU at least.

a human can still be held accountable though, github copilot running amock less so
