Are you concerned about canned goods being lined with BPA?
See link.http://www.ewg.org/reports/bisphenola
I use canned fruit in smoothies when I don’t have enough ripe fresh fruit.
I have been rinsing it off. I wonder if it works?
What do you know about this?
I have green BPA free containers. I am looking for bigger ones.

I wonder if there is more whatever bad stuff leaches out if the cans are older?

I am concerned about BPA in cans and containers.
I think we do not know everything yet.
I think if you are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or giving foods with possible BPA contamination to infants or small children, you shouldn’t worry too much about it. Unless your diet includes quite a bit of canned foods or beverages, your exposure should be minimal. I’m not particularly worried because I rarely buy canned foods of any kind and don’t use plastic containers in the microwave when I reheat food.
If fruit is the main canned product you buy, maybe you should consider buying fruit in glass jars instead. At our grocery store, these jars are located in the produce section.
I’m more worried about the government not caring about the BPA.

It is in most storage containers too.
I found PBA free containers at Whole Foods but I want bigger ones.
The FDA had done a terrible job.
Yes. If the can is lined with white plastic, I throw it out. My husband and I are cancer survivors, and I don’t like carcinogens in my food.
G/Q
I might be if I used many canned goods, but I don’t.
I am concerned about BPA in general and have looked into household products (especially baby products) that don’t contain it. As far as canned foods, I should look into this more, we do eat some canned products but they’re in metal containers, usually.

Thank you for telling me to check for the white lining.
