Do Migros and Denner cans release harmful substances into the food?
I once read that food cans release harmful substances into the food.

I remember hearing that cans with a white coating on the inside release fewer harmful substances than those without a coating. I always empty uncoated cans as soon as I open them.
It probably also depends very much on the contents. If vinegar and/or salt is added, I can well imagine that substances would dissolve from the metal without a coating. The peaches in the syrup are probably less problematic in this respect.
About 10 years ago, the media and then the administrations took up the can problem with "bisphenol A". It was also discussed on Migipedia.
Cracked or heavily dented cans should be thrown away, as the damage to the protective layer could allow tin and BPA to pass into the food. This means that the shelf life would/is no longer guaranteed.
For the sake of health and the environment, I avoid tins and drinks cans.?
Hello @Michi2000
We can assure you that all the tins we use are absolutely unproblematic and in no way hazardous to health. Our cans are subject to regular inspections. We check all incoming goods in the laboratory. Depending on the product and its acidity, we use either tin or a plastic to coat the inside walls of the cans. There are clear guidelines for these materials, which we constantly check. As a result, both of these materials are absolutely unproblematic. They are ideal for storing food in tins and guarantee the specified shelf life. We recommend pouring the contents into an airtight container after opening the can, so do not leave the leftovers in the opened can.
Kind regards,
Tamara
