This topic would be a great discussion thread on IthaCan
<http://ithacan.ning.com>, a social network for local food preservers.
If you're a home food preserver you can sign up here
<http://ithacan.ning.com/main/authorization/signUp?>.
Unless...you are the same Kristie that signed up yesterday?
Best,

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.
