News: Canned tomatoes and BPA

Feb 13, 2011 11:58

I opened a couple of cans of Muir Glen tomatoes last night, and noticed that the lining of the cans looked different. So I poked around on their website and found this:
MUIR GLEN TOMATOES TRANSITIONING TO CAN LINERS THAT DO NOT USE BPA
Muir Glen has been working diligently with our can suppliers to develop and test alternative linings that do not use BPA, and we have successfully identified and tested an alternative that has proven safe and viable in our processing of tomatoes. We are transitioning to cans with liners that do not use BPA as we are canning this year’s tomato harvest.

Yay! \o/
