Hi to any fellow canners out there,
I've been doing some research on what food containers do and do not contain
BPA, and was pretty annoyed to find it's in Ball canning lids. Please send
an email to the parent company, Jarden (which seems to make all canning lids
on the market, Ball, Kerr, etc -- as far as I can tell, there are no
BPA-free alternatives), at
http://www.freshpreserving.com/pages/contact_us/10.php asking them to come
up with a BPA-free version!
Wishing we didn't live in a world so infiltrated with toxins that you have
to worry about your own, home-canned food...
-Kristie
PS Please pass along to other canners! Maybe they will come up with an
alternative if they hear from enough of us.
