Campbell Soup commits to zero BPA in cans by 2017

After testing hundreds of alternatives to BPA for its can linings, Campbell Soup Company finds safe alternatives that will allow it to complete the transition to zero BPA by mid-2017.

Products to be packaged in non-BPA lined cans include Campbell’s soups and gravies, Swanson broth, and SpaghettiOs pasta.

Campbell Soup Company has disclosed its plan to complete a transition to cans that do not use Bisphenol A (BPA) linings by the middle of 2017. The company began using cans with linings made from acrylic or polyester materials in March 2016 and will continue to introduce the new linings across its U.S. and Canadian portfolio through 2017.

Campbell first announced its intention to move away from BPA linings in February 2012, in response to consumer feedback. Since then, Campbell has tested hundreds of alternatives. As the company has stated previously, the transition faced a number of technical challenges. This included identifying linings that would ensure the safety of more than 600 different recipes, such as its tomato-based products, which are naturally acidic and can react with some linings over time.
