April 2010

The lining of our organic canned tomatoes does contain Bisphenol A, BPA. As far as we know, there are no cans available for tomato products at this time that do not contain BPA in the lining.

As a company, we truly care about this problem. We therefore offer two tomato products in glass jars that do not contain BPA. In the meantime, we continue to search for a new can. Unfortunately the cans are made by large multinational firms that all offer the same thing. We have contacted several can manufacturers who continue to say that alternatives are being tested for safety and could be introduced in 2010.

We recognize this as a serious health concern and will strive to offer more BPA tomato products in the future. We have tested our canned tomatoes for the presence of BPA at independent laboratories and the test results have always been negative, but we do not deny the presence of BPA in the lining.
