As a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, I have been researching solutions to plastics for years. I believe that P_Plastics& BisA is detrimental to not only the immunity, but terrible for the planet. There are solutions and my question is, why are you not finding other ways to package foods, as there are other products that not only are made from Non GMO vegetable products, but also will recycle into the earth. Here are some companies that are doing it and products are available!

I’ve heard that Eden Organics is the only U.S. company that has BPA-free canned goods. Does anyone know of any others?

I purchased several polycarbonate water bottles from Whole Foods 2 years ago. The recycle number on the bottom is 7PC, bottle is made by STC Plastics, but they have Whole Foods labels on them. Are these discontinued? Are they the bottles that are supposedly leaching BPA? Thanks!

As a childbirth educator, lactation specialist and infant care specialist, I have spent 2 years learning about Bisphenol-A and how toxic it is for each and every one of us, for just born to aging. My website is filled with article upon article about why any plastic or cans with BPA should not be used and yet everywhere I go there is a baby sucking on a bottle that is not BPA free and when I question the parent as to the type of formula in the bottle, I am further disappointed to find that the formula was in liquid form that came out of a can lined with BPA. My 89 year old Dad says since he remains in good health, at his age he sees nothing wrong with drinking water from a bottle with BPA or soup or tuna (tuna is of course an entirely different story) from cans also lined with BPA. As a professional working with this issue all day long, it is extremely frustrating that certain stores (of course not Whole Foods!!!!) would still allow toxic plastics to be sold rather than educate the public before it is too late for their children.

I bought 365 Wildflower Amber Honey and checked the bottle and saw that it is No.3. Shouldn’t you be more careful of the products that you use?
