This investigation describes a reliable and sensitive method for simultaneously determining bisphenol A (BPA) and two major phytoestrogens, daidzein and genistein, in powdered milks and infant formulas by gas chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis after trimethylsilylation. To reduce the matrix interference associated with the constituents of the formulas, the dissolved formula solutions were firstly ultra-centrifuged and the analytes in the supernatant were then extracted using a C18 solid-phase extraction column. The accuracy and precision of the method were determined and the technique was successfully employed to measure trace concentrations of BPA, daidzein and genistein in powdered formulas. The results show that BPA, daidzein and genistein were detected in all the testing samples (n = 6) at concentrations from 45 to 113 ng/g (except one infant formula), 20 to 2050 ng/g and 21 to 6510 ng/g, respectively. The highest concentrations of daidzein and genistein (i.e., 2050 and 6510 ng/g) were detected in a soy-based powdered infant formula. The quantitation limits were 1.0 ng/g for BPA, and 10 ng/g for daidzein and genistein using 0.5 g powdered milk samples.
