BPA in Canned Foods

We have noticed that not everyone is aware of the BPA found in the linings of canned food. Unfortunatley, just when you thought you were free of Bisphenol-A by throwing out your plastic #7 bottles turns out you also need to watch out for those cans. "Food and drink cans are lined with BPA containing plastic. Beverages appear to contain less residues, while canned pasta and soups contain the highest levels." EWG, Environmental Working Group

SAFETY TIPS:

Safer alternatives are glass containers and as a reminder on plastics, #1,#2 and #4 on the bottom are safer plastics and do not contain BPA. Soft or cloudy plastics do not contain BPA. If you are looking for further information on baby bottles, look no further then EWG

Canned foods that are moving away from BPA lining, are companies such as Eden Organics

When possible, choose fresh or frozen foods

Time to start canning in the summer, yes, in those glass jars! I know another thing to add to your "mommy to do" list!
