"World's Largest Soup Maker to Remove BPA from Cans"

Washington, D.C. – Campbell’s Soup "says it will stop using the notorious chemical bisphenol-A, or BPA, in the linings of its cans."

YOU SHOULD KNOW....if you don't:
"Last September, the Breast Cancer Fund launched their Cans Not Cancer campaign which, with the help of Healthy Child Healthy World, generated more than 70,000 letters to the company urging it to find an alternative can lining that did not contain BPA, a synthetic estrogen that disrupts the hormone system.
“I applaud our friends and colleagues at the Breast Cancer Fund and Healthy Child Healthy World for helping to keep the pressure up, using the power of grassroots advocacy to change markets,” Houlihan said.
In March 2007, EWG published a ground-breaking study documenting that BPA had leached from epoxy can linings into more than half the canned foods, beverages and liquid infant formula randomly purchased at supermarkets around the country. The EWG study, the first of its kind, helped explain why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had found detectable levels of BPA in the urine of 93 percent of Americans over the age of six. BPA is one of the most omnipresent chemicals in existence, used not only in food and beverage packaging but also in the production of hard plastic containers and store receipt paper. In July 2010, EWG commissioned lab tests of cash register receipts from major outlets across the country and found the presence of BPA on many of the samples. In December 2009, laboratory tests commissioned by EWG and Rachel's Network detected BPA for the first time in the umbilical cord blood of American newborns. The tests identified the plastics chemical in 9 of 10 cord blood samples from babies of African American, Asian and Hispanic descent."
