Are Bear and Wolf Pink Salmon Wild Alaskan, 6-Count 6 Oz cans free of bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used as glue to keep the cans together?

There isn't anything on the label saying it is BPA free so it possibly does contain BPA. Only way to be sure is by contacting the manufacturer.BPA is used in the epoxy paint which coats the interior of the can to keep the contents from contacting the metal, it does not hold the can together.

Yes, free of BPA according to the Trident Seafoods web site at http://www.tridentseafoods.com/retail/canned_products.php#5

I don't know. Probably best to call or email the consumer department at the company and ask.

It has a "7" on the bottom, but Nalgene no longer sells water bottles made with Bisphenol A. Number 7 as a plastic type means any plastic that is not in the first six, so having number 7 on the bottom does not necessarily mean that it contains BPA. They specifically stated that these Nalgene Tritan's are BPA-Free. Mine had no odor upon receiving them, but I still washed them thoroughly.

Absolutely BPA free. Can actually says it, and you can verify by calling Wild Planet customer service at 800.998.9946. I buy several cases each year.

The presence of Bisphenol-A was never a concern because we collected water only for use in our flower garden. Because of BPA's poor solubility in water, it shouldn't be of concern unless you're storing drinking water for use by infants or the elderly. Don't store organic solvents in any plastic container.

I poach salmon in these bags with no problem and have used them for "boil in a bag" backpacking meals. I read somewhere on the packaging or description they are BPA free (but that is not my area).Cheers,

I really don't know if there is any Bisphenol A (BPA) in this product. However, one source that I found states: "If people and dogs have been exposed to BPA for the past 60 years without noticeable ill effects, then there is no need to worry about BPA in canned dog food until BPA is 100 percent linked to illnesses in dogs." HOWEVER, there are also other sources that 'speculate' that it may be harmful. If the manufacturer won't tell you then use your best judgment. As for me, I will allow my dog to continue using the bowl as I have seen no evidence of negative effects in this product after about 3 years.

I have bought these for years and don't see anything on the can that indicates anything other than bpa. I would call the manufacturer directly.

I have no idea. However it is my understanding that BPA is not as much a problem for animals as people, it may not even trigger the same hormonal response. These things are so small that I would imaging any leaching would be so minute as to not really matter. I could be wrong though.

Hi Amanda, I can confirm that the silicone is BPA free and safe. Silicone is a natural substance that is formed by bonding silicon with oxygen. Silicon is an element that is abundant in sand and rock making up 28% of the earth's crust.I hope this helps but please do let me know if you have any further questions.Kind regards, BrightSpring

Unfortunately, BPA-free is not the end of the cause for concern--it is just the beginning. It is now known that an alternative to BPA, called BPS, is widely used in its place, allowing products to claim BPA-free. BPS has been documented to act as a stronger, more dangerous endocrine disrupter than BPA, as well as more persistent in the environment. This toy has BPS if it is not disclosed to omit it.

BPA is a plasticizer added to can coatings and plastics to keep them flexible during their manufacturing process and to add long term stability against degradation during the expected life cycle of the product for which they are used. In my opinion, glass packaging is the safest form of food packaging for products that are to be stored at room temperature and even here, the screw-on closure has a plastic coating on its interior surface to protect the metal lid from the food contents. Since BPA is used in water clear plastic bottle, the absence of a white substance on a can coating which one reviewer alluded to is not a guarantee that the coating is BPA free. The white is probably Titanium Dioxide, the whitest substance known to man, expensive but safe and looks a lot better then some of the other can coatings used but its used as a filler for appearance sake and is not a plasticizer. In my opinion, I don't think the can used for sardine packaging is BPA free. However, given the wide spread use of BPA and there being no known epidemic of people dying from its use, I'd say, "Eat the sardine, they are good for you and you will die from something anyway". If you pressure some food packagers they will admit that "they are hard at work looking for a substitute" and I believe them but the fact is that BPA is doing the job successfully at a price the supplier is willing to pay. Tin is another issue. The price of tin has gotten so high that I doubt any food packager is using it, the reader may be looking at the chromium plated steel base sheet with a clear can coating applied over it which proved to be successful under very demanding conditions some years ago.

Hi Anne; Thank you for your inquiry. The item you have inquired is BPA free. BPA is a mass-produced industrial chemical used primarily to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. There are concerns regarding BPA's potential health effects however there no proven cases that is so. BPA Free products are made without this chemical and that is ow they get their name.
