That Sneaky BPA

A new CTV News-Globe & Mail investigative report shows that our favourite controversial chemical - BPA - has turned up in more than just baby bottles. This time, tests conducted on cans for foods commonly served to Canadian children showed strong traces as well.

Because these findings show that BPA leached out of the cans and into water, it can be assumed that the chemical is leaching into the food itself when the cans are heated during the pasteurization process.

So, uh, when’s that ban coming?
