With all the concern by bisphenol A (BPA) in baby bottles and water bottles, we’re hearing louder rumblings of BPA-free alternatives. However, beyond tainting baby and water bottles, BPA is plus in many canned goods, which has made me wonder whether there are any BPA-free cans on the marketplace. BPA is linked to precancerous tumors, urinary problems and early puberty in animals. It’s additionally a known endocrine disrupter.

Julie’s Health Club just turned me on to Eden biological Beans. According to Eden’s website, they spend 14 percent more to can all their bean varieties in a BPA-free steel can. They’re the only U.S. company using that type of can, lined with an oleoresinus (a natural oil and plant resin mix) c-enamel. Eden also states the acidity of their canned tomato products do require

an epoxy-based coating which may contain BPA, however they claim it’s a minute amount.

So there you have it — biological, canned beans without any BPA. While I’m not a big canned goods consumer, beans are my number one canned goods purchase. Nice to know Eden’s been using BPA-free cans for nearly a decade.
