    BPA in canned food...

    I've heard that canned food contains BPA so generally I try to avoid it where I can. Does anyone know though... does all canned food contain BPA? How do you know if it does/doesn't?

    TIA

    I know canned tomatoes are particularly bad because of the acids in the tomato being able to leech it out, but I don't know if that if really 100% true or just an urban myth sorry.

    It's not all cans. Some companies will used certified BPA-free cans. Otherwise, finding things in glass jars is good too.

    I thought it was in the plastic-y stuff on the inside of the lid of the can - which is also on the inside of the lid in glass bottles and jars?

    I also thought it was only problematic when things were heated up, as that's when it gets out ... ?

    I thought BPA was only dangerous if heated too?
