Toronto - Canned foods sold in Canada reportedly contain up to double the levels of bisphenol A that was found in plastic baby and water bottles, according to results conducted for The Globe and Mail and CTV.
In April, Health Canada indicated it planned to add bisphenol A to its list of toxic substances as a precaution, prompting consumers to shun products containing the chemical.
The highest amounts found in the testing of 14 canned goods, bought at Toronto stores, were in tomato sauce.
Other products on the list included Allen's apple juice, Heinz tomato juice and Labatt's ice beer.

These cans have a plastic liner, the idea being that less of the "tinny" taste will be detectable. I guess we'll stop seeing liners in cans.
