Bisphenol A in canned food

Bisphenol A in Konserven

Dear Sir or Madam

The latest test results from Stiftung Warentest have shown that many food cans are contaminated with bisphenol A (BPA). This chemical is known to cause hormonal disorders and is suspected of promoting serious health problems such as breast cancer, infertility and behavioral problems in children.

In view of these alarming findings, I would like to know what concrete measures you are taking to prevent the migration of BPA into food. I am particularly interested in:

1. what steps do you take to ensure that your food cans are BPA-free?
2. how do you check compliance with the new, stricter limits of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH)? The specific migration limit for BPA in plastics, paints and coatings that come into contact with food has been set at 0.05 mg/kg of food.
3. what alternatives do you offer to ensure that your customers do not consume products that are harmful to their health?

Is there an official statement from your quality assurance department that factually substantiates the safety of your products?

Thank you for your prompt feedback.
