Food cans - how much aluminum do I eat?

Konservendosen - wieviel Aluminium esse ich mit?

Guest

Hello Migros

I bought sardines in an aluminum can today and unfortunately ate them quickly. Only afterwards did I realize that they contain the harmful Besphanol A, which can also cause severe damage to unborn babies (brain development). I would now like to know how much BPA I have ingested by eating sardines. I would also like to ask Migros to indicate this substance on the packaging.

Many thanks and best regards

There was an answer to your question a few weeks ago in this thread:

Hi Nachtspalter, thanks for the links and the tips. However, I still think that Besphanol A should be mentioned on the can as well as the material of the can. The fact that Migros says that it adheres to the federal regulations does not reassure me very much. The federal government also allows Roundup Soja, which is used in many Swiss products: https://www.blv.admin.ch/dam/blv/de/dokumente/lebensmittel-und-ernaehrung/rechts-und-vollzugsgrundlagen/gvo-bewilligungsliste.pdf.download.pdf/d-gvo-bewilligungsliste.pdf

Hello @Mary-Ann88

Thank you for your question.

In order to provide you with the details of a specific product, please specify the item in question. I can then also give you an answer regarding the declaration on the packaging.

What we can say, however, is that it is a very small proportion that always complies with the legal requirements. We carry out regular spot checks on bisphenol A.

Kind regards

Angela
