How can some (organic) food packers claim they use only bisphenol A (BPA)-free coatings when there reportedly are no commercial alternatives?
Not all canned food and beverage packaging applications require the use of BPA-based epoxy technology to deliver the highest level of food packaging safety and performance. There are thousands of commercial can specifications used in the U.S. alone to package the wide variety of unique food stuffs found on local grocer shelves. Each container specification is designed to optimize performance, environmental friendliness, and safety for any given application. BPA-based epoxy can liners routinely deliver the highest level of performance with respect to protecting food quality under high temperature food sterilization requirements that eliminate the dangers of e.coli and listeria contamination.
