BPA, or bisphenol A, is an industrial chemical that is used to make certain types of plastics and resins. It has recently been linked to autism, food intolerance, and may affect fertility.
Many major companies have pledged to stop using BPA in their canned foods. However, there was no way for consumers to know if the canned foods they were buying contain BPA.
Now, thanks to research from the Environmental Working Group (EWG), consumers can finally be informed of which brands use BPA in their cans. The EWG analyzed 252 popular canned foods brands to find which ones contain BPA-laden epoxy.
