 Now BPA-free!Mar 12, 2011
By LaurenA432
Just wanted to follow up on the last post. Muir Glen recently announced that they no longer use BPA in their can lining, starting with the fall 2010 harvest! Cans without BPA are being shipped now, so cans you find in stores now may or may not contain it. I am so happy to see a brand that I can actually find in my grocery store commit to not using BPA. Plus, I really like their canned tomatoes and think the quality is better than Hunt's. Their crushed tomatoes with basil actually contain whole basil leaves, not just basil "flavor."

 Contains BPA!!!!Oct 15, 2009
By ChiliPep123
I love Muir Glen tomato products but sadly I had to give them up due to their can liners containing bisphenol A (BPA). I will not feed anymore BPA to my kids! It makes me sick that I fed them with BPA laden baby bottles before I knew better. We already have enough cancer in our family. I don't know why anyone is surprised that BPA acts like a synthetic estrogen therefore an endocrine disrupter--BPA was ORIGINALLY developed in the 1930s as a synthetic estrogen drug for women. Shortly after it was developed, a new synthetic estrogen drug came out (DES) so BPA fell by the wayside until someone figured out it could be used in plastics and can liners to help make them harder.
I wrote to Muir Glen (now owned by General Mills) to see if they have any plans to remove BPA from their cans but they did not respond to me. I would be happy to pay a bit more for jarred tomato products if they can't come up with BPA free cans. Or how about tomatoes in cartons or frozen?
Please write to the companies that you buy canned tomatoes from and ask for BPA free products. Let me know if anyone finds BPA free tomato products, such as tomato paste, diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes...by responding to this comment--I will get an email.
I have young children and I will not feed them anymore BPA!!!

BPA? Yes and no...Jun 13, 2011
By PY
I contacted Muir Glen directly and asked whether or not their cans contained BPA. You can see their response below:
"Thank you for contacting Muir Glen about bisphenol-A or BPA.
Bisphenol-A is a component of protective coatings in metal food packaging, and provides an important food safety and quality function in canned foods. Scientific and governmental bodies worldwide have examined the science many times and have concluded that the weight of evidence supports the safety of BPA, including recent comprehensive assessments in Japan and in the European Union.
In January 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced another review of BPA. This review in expected to take 18-24 months, and Health Canada and the World Health Organization (WHO) will participate.
Most metal cans in the food industry utilize BPA in the can lining or can lid. Some of our products do, and many competitors' products do as well.
Muir Glen continues to believe BPA is safe. However, we know that some of our consumers have wanted us to pursue alternatives. We have been working with our can suppliers and can manufacturers to develop and test alternative linings that do not use BPA for some time.
One alternative has proven safe and viable in our processing of tomatoes - and Muir Glen is in the midst of transitioning to cans with liners that do not use BPA. It is an approved non-epoxy alternative. Can coatings used by Muir Glen also comply fully with all applicable U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements for safe use in food contact applications.
Your views are important to us. Again, thank you for contacting Muir Glen, and thank you for your support of our products.
Sincerely,
Consumer Services"

Tasty, no salt tomato sauce,Mar 10, 2008
By Chris Daum
My husband has high blood pressure, and it's difficult to find no-salt foods. Muir's organic no-salt tomato sauce is great; now I can cook our favorite foods again.

 Good tomato sauce, but can linings are toxicJun 13, 2008
By Sverre Amundsen
First I have to say, this is one of the best tomato sauces out there. However, the cans are lined with a Bisphenol A liner, something Muir Glen has admitted. Until Muir Glen change their canning methods, I will not be buying any more of their canned products.
