Most/all plastic for food use is BPA free at this point.
Looks like elaborate marketing. I think something like 95%+ of metal food containers are lined with plastic to prevent the metal from reacting/leeching into the food. Making some assumptions here but I suspect because the vast majority/all of the aluminum can supply chain is plastic lined that these are as well.
- steveklabnik 3y agoYeah to be honest at this point I am leaning your way as well. I did not know this about aluminum cans generally until this thread! I am not entirely sure that this invalidates the "better than plastic bottled water" claim, but good to know regardless! Suspicious!
- infecto 3y agoI definitely don't think it invalidates that claim! Aluminum cans afaik are still better in that the amount of plastic used is significantly less and you can recycle the outer shell.
