I first saw this reported over at ReallyNatural.com that the food company Eden Foods does not line their canned goods with coatings that contain BPA. Instead they’ve changed their packaging to be more environmentally friendly and BPA free materials.
Eden Organic Beans are packed in lead free tin covered steel cans coated with a baked on oleoresinous c-enamel lining that does not contain bisphenol A (BPA). (Oleoresin is a natural mixture of an oil and a resin extracted from various plants, such as pine or balsam fir).
As far as I know, Eden Foods is the only canned food company using this particular BA free costing on their cans. The company is also converting their pasta packaging to all recycled cardboard materials.

I too was excited about this, when I read Enviroblog’s recent BPA post. But then I noticed it said only the canned beans do not have BPA, and the rest of their canned food does have BPA in the lining.
I read this post yesterday after I had also posted about BPA in cans (after calling Annie’s Inc). Dare I say great minds think alike at times??
Thank you so much for adding a button to my site, I really appreciate it!
Very good point Katy
I bolded that portion of the statement, since it was already there just maybe not noticeable, to make sure parents noticed that detail.
