Information about BPA-(Bisphenol A )

The inside of food cans are often lined with an epoxy resin that keeps corroding metal away from the food. But bisphenol A in that resin can migrate into the foods; in fact, it's the major source of our exposure to the chemical, says the government's National Toxicology Program.
Though you may see "BPA-free" on some canned goods, food manufacturers are not required to list the chemical on labels, so you have no way of knowing whether it's present. To limit your family's exposure:

•Buy more fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables.
•Choose soups and broths that come in aseptic boxes or dried soup mixes in nonplastic bags.
•Be extra cautious with infants: If you use commercial formula, buy it in powdered form, which comes in a foil-lined cardboard container and shouldn't have any BPA, says the FDA.
•Use BPA-free baby bottles and sippy cups.
