Love This Product!Aug 06, 2008
By Green Interior Designer
I buy many of Muir Glen's tomato products--diced, crushed and whole. Consistently good product. I buy because they are organic--and they happen to be excellent.

BPA? Yes and no...Jun 10, 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"

Price Nearly Doubled Since November 2011Mar 26, 2012
By Anne Smiley
"AS"
These are great canned tomatoes, but I don't understand how they were 14.40 in November and now theyre 22.00 ?
Also, the BPA situation is serious. But the reason it's still being used is because BPA is essentially an unregulated chemical. See [...]
From page 4 -
"None of the regulatory agencies, all of which are heavily dominated by chemical industry interests"...they just didn't know what to do with this (a hill of new research) "And the choice is, they've got 100,000 chemicals in commerce. They actually have regulatory authority over a small number of them, because in the 1970s with the Toxic Substance Control Act, they grandfathered in 62,000 chemicals, including BPA, that are totally outside the regulatory system. So there's no regulation of BPA"
But in January, 2010, the FDA did something remarkable -- it reversed its position that BPA is safe, and said we agree with our science advisory agency that there is reason for concern for prostate cancer, for early puberty, for a variety of things. This was a huge breakthrough. Now we actually have a government agency that has accepted that this is a chemical to be avoided. But they said, "We're sorry, but we do not have the authority to do that. We don't even have the authority to go to the chemical industry and say, `What's this in?' We can't even find that out." It's a grandfathered chemical."
"What the FDA said is, "We are working with Congress to try to get laws changed." But changing the rules that we operate by, if we had a compliant industry, would take five to 10 years. And this is one extremely non-compliant industry. It's almost a $10 billion-a-year product. You know, people don't give up that kind of money."
---
One problem other than early puberty in females (because it mimics estrogens) is the feminization of boys and males (including affecting their development in-vitro from the mother's consumption of BPA as well as soy proteins) that we don't often read about. This could produce a national security problem, if we are developing feminine boys (watch the feminists scream at me :))
Either way, I figured people who purchase organic products would appreciate being made aware of this, if they weren't already :)
