Among the different brands in powdered-milk can, Anchor contains BPA.
In condensed milk cans, Dairy Champ and Daisy contain BPA. In evaporated milk cans, Carnation and Alpine contain BPA. In corned beef cans, CDO and Holiday contain BPA. In Beef Loaf cans, El rancho and Winner contain BPA. In sardines cans, only Youngstown cantains BPA. In tuna cans, all of them, 555, Bluebay and Century contain
BPA. There is a difference between the BPA content in the different
parts of the cans. The outside part mostly contains BPA, then the inside part, and the inner bottom which contains the least.
