BPA from can linings

In the body: Same chemical as on the BPA page: EFSA’s 2023 limit rests on effects on the immune system seen in animal studies.

Not rated by dose: a flag on 2 reviewed foods, among them canned light tuna and Oysters, canned.

Background. Shown, not scored: no dose basis at normal intake, a classification rather than a risk, or legal limits only.

The same chemical as on the “Bisphenol A (BPA)” page, which holds the agency’s limit. This page only flags canned foods that can carry it. See also: Bisphenol A (BPA)

Reviewed foods that carry it

2 reviewed foods carry it; none is rated by dose.

How often you can eat it

No food here is rated by dose. Each line says why it’s listed: a flag for the people the source names, advice on handling it, or context.

Flags and context, not rated by dose

  • Oysters, canned

    Not rated yet

    Health Canada Total Diet Study, BPA · grade C

    How it’s rated

    Not rated: no bisphenol A value for canned oysters has been found yet. EFSA's 2023 tolerable daily intake gives a grams limit, so a measured canned-oyster value would turn this into a rated row. Whether the can is lined, and with what, varies by brand.

    Intake: not applicable (flag)

    Measured on: no bisphenol A value for canned oysters found. Health Canada's Total Diet Study canned fish composite (DD03 'tuna and salmon') is a different food: see canned salmon for its five composites.

  • Light tuna, canned in water
