Canned foods, please label BPA free cause I just ate my salad with your tuna wholefoods.



BUT why does it not say BPA free? Are they scared to label it BPA free cause then they can be sued for false advertising. This way it's not labeled and we have to just trust in out products. Bullshit! We, as consumers, need to see it in writing to trust you. When we buy Organic we pay more cause the way it was grown. Why should we pay more for a trader joes or wholefoods can of tuna versus a ralphs or stop and shop can of tuna? Pay the 2.2 cents more for BPA free cans and we will buy it. We live in a corrupt world. We need things in writing to trust you.

 TJ's customer relations reveals that canned corn, canned beans, canned fish, canned poultry, and canned beef at Trader Joe's are all packaged in BPA free cans. However, any other products that contain corn or beans or fish, etc. and other items - for example in soups or chilis - are not in BPA free cans, the company said. No labeling here, either.
Here's a startling, almost amazing fact. Eden Organic has been canning beans since 1999 in BPA (bisphenol-A) free cans. For a decade. Concerns about BPA keep mounting - in January the FDA reversed its 2008 stance to say it was "concerned" about BPA and recommended limited exposure. So why don't all food manufacturers follow Eden's lead? It's a persistance problem, says Eden's Sue Becker. And, of course, a money issue - BPA-free cans are available, but they cost approximately 2.2 cents more (14%) than cans with standard BPA epoxy liners. More recently, at least six other foods have been switched to BPA-free
