In asked Trader Joe’s about BPA use in their canned goods and received this reply:

“Canned items in our stores WITH BPA lining in the cans would include: tomatoes, tomato sauce & paste, soups, chili, and stew.

Canned items in our stores that DO NOT have BPA lining in the cans include: seafood (tuna, salmon, herring, sardines, etc.), chicken, turkey & beef and now beans and corn.

All of our products and packaging are within food safety guidelines and regulations. However, we also wanted to inform you that we do not have any plastic packaging with BPA.”

I thought it very refreshing to get an honest answer. The last time I emailed a fast food chain about the MSG content of their food (they say they don’t “add” MSG), i was told their recipes were secret. They might have well said they don’t “add” it in the restaurant, but it comes in the sauces, etc.

I used to have a stainless steel bottle until I looked inside it one day. It was nasty!!! My boss had this really nice glass bottle on her desk, and I asked her about it. She got it at a website called http://www.betrulyyou.com . I love it, and you just pop it in the dishwasher to clean it.

Thank you for the post. BPA is a serious problem which can cause many forms of cancer. I founded Tribeca Bottles due to the economic and health hazards of plastic bottles. The Tribeca bottle is made out of pure stainless steel and not lined. So if you need a safe container, it may be a solution for you.
