Campbell’s will stop lining cans with BPA
Campbell’s Soup Co. says the company will stop using BPA lining in its can as soon as a feasible alternative is ready.
Bisphenol A, used to make hard, clear plastics, has been linked to heart disease, early-onset puberty, behavioral problems, diabetes and breast and prostate cancer. The FDA could soon ban the use of BPA in all food packaging.
A report in the Journal Sentinel Monday said Campbell’s has been testing BPA alternatives for five years, and could soon join the likes of companies like Trader Joe’s, Eden Foods and others that don’t use BPA.
