The Breast Cancer Fund recently released a report focused on BPA levels found in canned goods routinely used to prepare holiday meals. The results of the report, BPA Levels in Thanksgiving Canned Goods, is unsettling.
High levels of BPA were found in holiday staple items like Campbell's Turkey Gravy, Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup, Del Monte Fresh Cut Sweet Corn Cream Style and Libby's Pumpkin.
The report found that in more than half of the products tested a 120 gram serving of the canned item contained enough BPA to show adverse health effects in lab studies.
The study included alternatives to the canned items it focused on including similar products packaged in Tetra Pak packaging or frozen items.
