Which Pet Foods have BPA free cans?
- 1-17-2010
- Categorized in: Pet Food Ingredients
BPA or Bisphenol A is a hot topic these days with health conscious consumers and petsumers. Pet owners, concerned about the risks associated with BPA are contacting their pet food companies asking if canned pet foods contain the chemical. However, many Pet Food answers to the BPA questions seem to be as varied as pet food itself. Which pet food companies are using BPA lined cans and which are not…you judge by their responses and the available information.
The studies proving the risks of BPA (Bisphenol A or BADGE) have been piling up over recent years. Concerned pet owners struggling to find safe canned foods for their dog or cat continue to question their pet food company.
Nona is a cat lover extremely concerned with BPA linings in canned cat food. She wrote Evangers Pet Foods and was told the following…
I subscribe to Petsumer Reports online and they are reporting that your cans contain a BPA lining. Is this true?
Veterinary researchers have found a link between BPA in cat food cans and hyperthyroidism in cats and BPA is regulated by the European Union.
I would love to purchase some of your products, but I don't feed any dry food to my cats and I won't purchase any canned food that is contaminated by BPA.
Thank you.
Nona W
The next day Nona received the following response from Evangers Pet Food…
Greetings Nona,
Evanger's contacted our can supplier who assured us that our cans are indeed BPA free.
I hope this helps you during your search for a quality canned food for your cats.
All the best,

That’s when Nona emailed me asking if what Evangers was telling her was true and perhaps Petsumer wasn’t aware of the BPA free cans used by Evangers. So…I called them. This was our conversation…
Do your canned pet foods contain a BPA lining?
No.
Are you sure…I thought only the small cans of pet food are available without a BPA lining?
Uh, yes.
So, your smaller cans are BPA free but your larger cans do indeed have a BPA lining, is this correct?
Uh, yes.
When I emailed Nona about my conversation with Evangers, she was more than a little perplexed at the conflicting answers. So, she wrote them again…
A friend of mine called Evangers and someone at your company admitted that some of Evangers cans are lined with BPA.
If Evangers is being dishonest in your responses regarding this question, I certainly won't be able to trust the other ingredients in your pet food.
Which of your cans contain BPA (aka BADGE, Bisphenol-A) and which don't?
Will someone please be honest?
Nona W
And here is their response…
Greetings Nona,
Until recently the cans that were BPA free were our 5.5 and 6 oz cans. However, we recently switched our 13 oz cans to a BPA free can as well. Therefore, your friend may have spoken with us before or during the time of our transition, in which case he or she received accurate information.
We certainly hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact me again if you have any other questions.
Regards,

So, what’s going on here? Is this customer service rep at Evangers hopelessly confused?
Another phone call (from me) to Evangers went as follows…
Do your canned foods contain a BPA lining?
Only the small cans; the 5 ounce and 6 ounce cans are BPA free. There are no options for pet food companies with the large cans; we can’t find BPA free cans. The large cans do have the lowest amount of BPA possible.
This was an honest and clear answer (unlike previous replies).
As I’ve been told by numerous pet food companies…’there are no options for pet food companies with the large cans’; this is/was my understanding. But…
Then I learned about Eden Foods, known as the pioneer of BPA free cans. In a July 2009 article, Eden Foods told HuffingtonPost.com they began a mission in 1997 to learn if their foods (people foods) were packaged in BPA lined cans; president Mike Potter was perplexed no one could tell him if the risk chemical was in his cans…not even the companies he purchased the cans from!
"I made hundreds of phone calls to these three manufacturers," he said. "Remarkably, I couldn't find out if it was in the cans I was using or not."
“The can companies didn't have to disclose what chemicals they were using as long as they claimed it was a trade secret.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nena-baker/how-eden-foods-pioneered_b_232135.html
Turns out…Ball Corporation, the very same company your grandmother used to purchase her ‘canning’ supplies from, found Eden Foods an alternative can lining. The switch to safer cans cost Eden Foods 14% more; “hundred of thousands of dollars a year for us” – a great deal of money for a small company in a highly competitive business.
So…back to pet food…what are pet food companies telling their customers about their canned food liners? If one pet food company was providing conflicting information, would others? Here are responses from numerous pet food companies…
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul
“Chicken Soup canned food cans do not contain BPA.”
Healthy Pet Net
“We do not use BADGE coatings in any of our canned foods.” Plus they provided the following in their response…”BADGE (BPA) COATINGS ARE USED IN 90% OF ALL CANS. This type of lining is considered an epoxy resin which have achieved wide acceptance in protective coatings, including coatings for food and beverage cans, because of their exceptional combination of properties such as toughness, adhesion, and chemical resistance. The most widely used epoxy resins are based on bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE). BADGE is a major component in all bisphenol A / epichlorohydrin based liquid epoxy resins. It’s entire
chemical nomenclature is Bisphenol-A Diglycidyl ether or 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) propane bis(2,3-epoxy-propyl) ether.
OUR CAN LINING CONTAINS BFDGE. This is used in the aluminum 3oz and 5.5 oz cans. Even though some of the letters seem the same, the compound we use, is an entirely different compound from BADGE. BFDGE stands for Bisphenol-FDiGlycidyl ether or bis(hydroxyphenyl)methane bis(2,3-epoxypropyl)ethers.
The purpose of lining is exactly the same as why you might coat a surface with lacquer-protection. The purpose with food contact surfaces is to protect the can from the food (to prevent rust, etc) and the food from the can. There are many properties such as adhesion to the metal and ability to withstand processing and migration of food chemicals (especially acid)
which need to be considered in selection of compounds. Additionally, properties to prevent sticking of the food to the lacquer on the lid need to be considered. Cans are coated on both sides but the needs are obviously different.”
Merrick Pet Foods
“Thanks for taking the time to e-mail us, none of our cans contain BPA (Bisphenol A). They are tin coated steel (inside and outside) with an organic coating over the tin on the inside of the can.” When questioned about the large cans “Does this include the large cans as well?” they responded “This includes the large cans as well.”
Natural Balance
“The only Natural Balance canned formula which do not contain BPA are the 3oz and 6oz cans. The dog formulas do contain minimal amounts.”
Del Monte
” Like most in the industry, the metal cans we use for our consumer products are produced by a third-party vendor, and they use protective coatings which contain trace amounts of BPA that fall well within current FDA guidelines.”
Nature’s Logic
“Our 5.5 oz cans do not but there is some BPA in the large 13.2 oz cans. Our canning facility is working on getting those changed over this year to a BPA free lining.”
Evangers Pet Foods
“Our cans are BPA free. Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.” When questioned further, Evangers followed with this response: “Our 5.5 and 6 oz cans are BPA free. Our 13 oz cans use a miniscule amount of BPA. The lining in our 13 oz cans is an approved FDA lining in that the amount of BPA in the can does not interfere with the food in the can. It is our understanding that can suppliers are working with the FDA to manufacture a larger can that is BPA free for commercial use.”
Weruva Pet Foods
“Our manufacturing partner makes their cans on premises and the raw materials used for the can production are free of BPA.”
Pet Guard Organics Pet Food
“The PetGuard 3oz and 5.5oz canned products are free of BPA/Badge. The coating used in the 12.7 and 14oz steel cans is water based, non toxic food/human grade polymeric/enamel lining.”
Newmans Own Organics Pet Food
“The 12.7oz steel dog food cans and the 3oz beef, beef & liver and liver (from Uruguay) canned cat food contain BPA. The other varieties of 3oz cat and 5.5oz dog are aluminum cans and bisphenol-A (BPA) free.”
Nature’s Variety Pet Food
“We use BPA in our 13.2 oz cans and not our 5.5 oz cans.”
Blue Buffalo Pet Food
“No, BLUE does not have BPA in their can lining.”
Canidae Pet Foods
“No, the can lining does not contain any BPA nor do any of our products.”
When questioned about large cans…”I've been reading about BPA and was told only small cans of pet food are available BPA free. Do your large cans have a BPA lining?”, Canidae responded “No, they do not either.”
Petropics Pet Food
“Bisphenol A (BPA) is not in the lining of our foods, as we have a no compromise philosophy in all areas, including our cans.”
Drs. Foster & Smith
“Our pet food cans are lined with BPA. This product produces a container that preserves its contents better and allows easier removal of the food.”
Natura Pet Foods (Innova, Evo, California Naturals)
“BPA is not in our aluminum cans (5.5oz). Although based on the available research we strongly believe that BPA-containing cans which are used throughout the human and pet food industry are safe, we are also attempting to phase out coatings with BPA in them from our 13.2 ounce steel cans.”
Nutro Pet Food
“No, they do not contain BPA; we’ve even done testing to learn there are not even trace amounts of BPA.”
Purina Pet Food
“None of our canned foods contain BPA; we use an FDA approved lining not formulated with BPA…Polypropylene.”
Iams/Eukanuba Pet Food
“No, none of our cans have a BPA lining.” When questioned what type of lining they use “Our cans are not lined with anything; they are made from just re-cycled steel.”
Halo Pet Foods
“Our cans do contain BPA in the safe and acceptable level established by the FDA.”
Wellness/Eagle Pack WellPet
“Our 3 oz. and 5.5 oz. canned cat products are free of BPA/BADGE. Some of our other canned cat products and our canned dog products have a small amount of BPA/BADGE in the lining material. The coating used is a water-based, non-toxic, food/ human-grade polymeric/enamel lining.”
Wysong Pet Food
“Our aluminum cans (5.5 oz) are BPA-free. The larger, steel cans (14 oz) do contain BPA, however, we are working with our can supplier to change the lining in the 14 oz cans.”
Fromm Pet Food
“No, our cans do not contain any BPA lining and never have.”
To summarize...Our inquiries found the following companies to provide a prompt first response in agreement with what is commonly believed with pet food…small aluminum cans can be BPA free, large steel cans are not BPA free…
Healthy Pet Net (only makes food in small cans)
Natural Balance
Del Monte brands

What in the world is going on? NaturalNews.com reported in December 2008 that only two U.S. companies confirm to use BPA free cans; Eden Foods and Henry & Lisa’s Natural Seafood. It has to be noted that this article was from a citizen journalist, not Mike Adams of Natural News. This doesn’t mean this particular citizen journalist was any less informed than any other journalist, we just don’t know. No credentials were provided. http://www.naturalnews.com/025128.html
I am NOT saying the above list of pet food companies are misleading consumers or falsely stating they are using BPA free cans…I am saying that if I were them, I’d certainly be utilizing the growing public awareness and concern of BPA as a marketing tool for my BPA free cans.
Not much luck with trying to discover more information about pet food cans…Numerous calls to trade associations representing the companies which manufacture can liners went unanswered or unresolved (you need to speak with XXX,…no, you need to speak with XXX…and so on). Numerous calls and emails to various pet food canning companies (Menu Foods, Simmons Pet, American Nutrition) went unanswered.
However, Scott McCarty of Ball Corporation (one of the leading can manufacturers in the world) was quick to respond to my questions. He provided the following information…
“Almost all aluminum and steel beverage and food cans use epoxy coatings inside cans as a barrier between the metal and the products in the can. Epoxy coatings may contain BPA. Scientific evidence evaluated by regulatory agencies in the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand has consistently shown these coatings to be safe, and regulatory agencies have stated that human exposure to BPA from epoxy can coatings is well below safe exposure limits set by government bodies worldwide.
Even so, Ball Corporation recognizes that significant interest exists in non-epoxy based coatings. We are committed to responding to our customers’ needs and will offer cans with a non-epoxy based coating when it becomes commercially available. Ball has been proactively working with coatings suppliers and our customers to evaluate non-epoxy based coatings. Early results from ongoing test packs that began in mid-2008 have been mixed.
Currently there is not a viable alternative to epoxy coatings that meets the existing requirements of all products packaged in cans. There are limited alternatives for certain, nonaggressive products. Those alternatives pose performance, shelf life, environmental or supply availability challenges. The coating used by Eden is a non-epoxy coating that has been around for many years. It is only suitable for use with nonaggressive products and may have shelf life, availability and cost considerations. I don’t know what coatings are used in all pet food cans; that would depend on customer requirements.”
Are you as confused as I am?
So, what’s the ‘truth’ about pet food can liners? Could it be that the short list of stated BPA free pet food companies utilizes BPA free cans unknown to other pet food companies and many/most human food canners? Or…could the Customer Service Reps of the above pet food companies stating they utilize BPA free cans be confused or ill informed?
I wish I could tell you. This experience has left me even more confused and dismayed about the Pet Food Industry. Until someone wins the lottery willing to support testing of all canned pet foods, we simply don’t know anything for certain (just give me those winning numbers…I’ll be testing for many things in pet food!).
If you are wishing to feed your pet a canned food from a BPA free can, my best advice is to use foods from the small aluminum cans believed to be to be BPA free.
Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,
Susan Thixton

Interesting that Mr. McCarty includes Japan as one of the countries claiming BPA linings are safe. A recent Scientific American article states that Japan banned them back in 1999. http://tinyurl.com/yjm9xp2
Susan!
You Go-Girl!!!!!! What a valuable service your providing for all the animal-lover's and pet parents in the world!
No wonder you're known as "The Top Dog In The Pet Food Industry!!!!" Thank you so much for all the "Labors of Love" you put in everyday for "Our 2&4 Legged Furred and Feathered Angels!"
Much Love and Respect!!

Is there no way to avoid using cans at all? How about sealed pouches? Chicken of the Sea Tuna comes in pouches...
I feed my dogs some canned pumpkin. Last week I called Libby's to ask about their cans and learned the cans do have BPA in them. They told me it was allowed by the FDA. I told them legal didn't mean safe.
Someone once said that canned food for humans caused cancer. I thought it a rather odd statement at the time. Now I dont. I m wondering now if humans wouldnt live disease free if we hadnt had industrialization and the resultant contaminations associated with mass production. This is a real eye opener for me! Thank you.
Hi! Thank you for providing this information. I just wanted to point out that you can speaking directly to Dr Jane Bicks on her bi-monthly call and ask her about the cans. She is the product formulator for HealthyPetNet products. The information is - phone 218-844-0860 at the appropriate time, and enter pass code 626116# after the prompt. Next call is scheduled for Wednesday, January 20th at 8:30 PM EST. She answers questions directly regarding the products (no medical advice is given)
Just wanted to pass on that I have seen advice to store any leftover canned food in a container, rather than leave in the can, as exposure to the air can cause more BPA contamination once the can is open.
Hi, I work for Merrick, and hope I can shed some light on this issue for you. It is my understanding small cans do not use BPA because they do not have welds joining the can together, and that it is important to keep both pet and human food from contacting the weld area on larger cans. The reason smaller cans do not have welds is that they are stamped out of a flat piece of metal, and the top is crimped into place. "Big" (13 + oz) cans have a vertical weld joining the metal, and usually have another weld at the top or bottom. While our customer service department was mostly correct in saying that the organic coating we use included the interior of the big cans too, in actual fact the weld area has been coated in a small strip first with a coating containing BPA. It is my understanding that an organic coating that protects the food from the weld that is as effective as one containing BPA has not yet been found. So we have made the best compromise we can by eliminating most of the BPA inside the can (except for the weld area), and using the organic coating for most of the remaining surface area. Note this organic coating also covers up the first "BPA" coating on the weld, effectively making the inside coating touching the food 100% organic. Our estimate at this time is that we have been able to eliminate a BPA lining on approximately 90% of the inside surface area of the big cans. Not perfect, but the best we can do at this time until another coating emerges that works as effectively to keep food away from the welds.
Hey Ken, do any of the people that work at the Merrick plant use these large cans of dog food with total confidence that what you are saying is true? and is it true? Can you tell us when the can linings might be changed to a lining like Eden canned food uses? why can't Merrick switch to these and maybe add a few more cents to the cost of the food? My dogs love this food, and I would eat it myself if I found myself on hard times! For the people that love the Merrick dog foods would someone please consider this? respectfully, Spencer and dogs
Just an fyi..Fromm actually took all of their canned food off of the market because their cans were made in China (not the food which is made in Wisconsin). They did this without any recall..and now have brought their cans back into the market...made in the USA and BPA free. Fromm is an excellent food and I love selling it..
Thank you very much for such a though article on BTA. Now I know not only "the inside" of the can we need to check but "the can" as well. It is so grateful(so as my cats) I found such an insightful site to learn from. Bookmarked for future posting. Thanks again.
i sent an email to addiction cat food maker and here is their reply.( after more that a week)
I wonder what can supplier Merrick uses. I was in my local pet store and went to purchase a can of Merrick Turducken. It was right next to Evanger's Hunk of Beef. I decided to see if I could see a noticeable difference in the physical traits of the cans because I read that Evanger's larger cans have a miniscule amount of BPA.
What I saw was no difference whatsoever. I decided to buy each can to see if I saw any difference inside the can. The strange thing was that on the can both started with the code SMC. This leads me to believe that both companies use the same can "SMC." So how can it be that Evanger's says the same can is not available as a BPA free can?? Somebody is lying - I'm switching back to Evanger's. At least they were honest from the beginning.
Merrick has recently changed can suppliers, and most of their products are now BPA free. The 3 piece cans still have a small piece, the weld covering coating, that is not BPA free but that is under development to be changed.
Many cans do look very similar. Some can be purchased off of secondary markets or are purchased by co packers. The tooling that makes the cans can also be very similar from vender to vender.
Overall, most of Del Monte's cans are now BPA free (all of the 2 piece cans). Most of Merricks / Blue Sky, most of Simmons' products also. the industry is changed due to customer demand.
Pet Guard Organics Pet Food
“The PetGuard 3oz and 5.5oz canned products are free of BPA/Badge. The coating used in the 12.7 and 14oz steel cans is water based, non toxic food/human grade polymeric/enamel lining.”
You stated that Petguard Organics still uses BPA in their larger cans. When in their statement above your listing, which I added above my comment says other wise. Below I will repost your list. Proofreading helps. :o)

I suggest, to be safe than sorry, the BEST is NOT to use ANY cans. Neither for yourself and neither for pets. Period. This is processed food. The less we all eat processed food, the better is your well being. Same for our pets. Although most of use use dry food for our pets, I think this is much better way to feed them, plus adding some free run chicken. This is what we do.
We buy Natural Planet Organics dog food. All their food is manufactured at their facility. I don't know how this company is rated by Susan. Would appreciate if Susan can post a short response.
A little more about what we give our dogs: Immune system support, Enzymes and Wild Alaskan oil in a pump.
THANK you!
...sorry, I forgot to ask about Orijen. How is their food rated ?
THANKS again!
Yet again the European union is way ahead of us in caring for its people and its pets, we know its harmful, lets get rid of it. We are forced to pay ridiculous prices for so called premium pet foods, yet they are just as dangerous as there supermarket brand , low cost counterparts, whats the use?
I emailed Merrick about this. Here is the reply I recieved:
Do your cans of pet foods contain BPA in the lining?
Thank you.
Marla
Hello Marla,
Thanks for inquiring; below is the information you requested.
BPA FREE CANS
BPA has been commonly used as a protective lining inside canned pet food and human food as well. BPA forms a protective barrier between the food and the metal of the cans. Recent studies regarding possible negative side effects of BPA have caused many industries to look for alternatives.
Our small cans are stamped out of a flat piece of metal, and the top is then crimped into place. There is no weld that joins the can together. The result is that this has allowed us to substitute an organic can lining to make all of our 3.2oz and 5.5oz cans completely BPA free.
Large cans (13.2 oz), however, DO have a vertical weld joining the metal, and usually have another weld at the top or bottom. It is important that food (for both pets and human) not come into contact with the weld to avoid weld failure from corrosion. Unfortunately, so far nothing has been found that protects the weld better than an enamel that includes some BPA. At Merrick, we have made the best compromise possible by using an a BPA free enamel coating for the majority of the surface area, and have eliminated the BPA inside the large cans - except for a small strip applied to the weld area.
By making this switch to a BPA free can lining, we have eliminated approximately 90% of the BPA from our large cans, and 100% of the BPA from the smaller cans. Please note that the BPA free coating is applied OVER the small strip of BPA coating on the large can welds, effectively making the inside coating that comes into contact with the food 100% BPA free.
Thank you,
Lesa

I hope this helps!
Need to know whether or not Natural Planet Organics canned CAT food, any variety -- any date stamp -- for 5 oz. cans uses BPA. I am a very big opponent of BPA in anything, including my own food, so I only buy Eden Organic human food in cans b/c they don't use BPA. But I need to know about my pet/cat food. It's ironic, isn't it, that a pet or other food can be certified "ORGANIC," but it's not really because of the leaching chemicals into the food from the can linings. Makes me really angry! Only answer this question "yes" or "no" because I can't take the ambiguity and confusion right now. Simple yes or no answer: does natural planet organics use BPA in ANY of its canned cat foods?
Just an update on BPA lining in canned food. If this is true about human food, what about our pets food? New studies have found limits are found to be higher than previously found.

Does anyone know if the TASTE OF THE WILD can foods contain BPA?
Thank you!

Dear :Cat Keeper
Thank you for visiting HillsPet.com and contacting us with your question. Your interest in our Company and our fine products is greatly appreciated.
The coating used in our 3 oz (85 g) and 5.5 oz (156 g) cans does contain BPA. Be assured that all of the coatings used in Hill's cans are approved for direct food contact by regulatory agencies globally. The inner coating of 3oz & 5.5oz cans is used to protect the product from interaction with the can itself. The possible transmission of odor or aroma from the metal can to the product is reduced via the coating system. The coating is a water based epoxy system.
We appreciate that you took the time to contact us. If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to call our Consumer Affairs Department toll free at 1-800-445-5777 or visit our website at HillsPet.com.

Thank you for the informative article! I hope pet food companies will push to get the large cans (12.5 - 14 oz) without BPA. I find the larger cans are a better value with my kitties, but knowing most of the large cans contain BPA, I have to rethink whether it's worth it. Let's get BPA- free cans for everyone!
