What is BPA? What Petfood cans contain it?


Which Pet Foods have BPA free cans?

BPA or Bisphenol A is a hot topic these days with health conscious consumers and petsumers.  Pet owners, concerned about the risks associated with BPA are contacting their pet food companies asking if canned pet foods contain the chemical.  However, many Pet Food answers to the BPA questions seem to be as varied as pet food itself.  Which pet food companies are using BPA lined cans and which are not…you judge by their responses and the available information.  

The studies proving the risks of BPA (Bisphenol A or BADGE) have been piling up over recent years.   Concerned pet owners struggling to find safe canned foods for their dog or cat continue to question their pet food company.  

Nona is a cat lover extremely concerned with BPA linings in canned cat food.  She wrote Evangers Pet Foods and was told the following…
I subscribe to Petsumer Reports online and they are reporting that your cans contain a BPA lining. Is this true? 
 
Veterinary researchers have found a link between BPA in cat food cans and hyperthyroidism in cats and BPA is regulated by the European Union. 
 
I would love to purchase some of your products, but I don't feed any dry food to my cats and I won't purchase any canned food that is contaminated by BPA. 
 
Thank you.
