Subject: Demand BPA-free canned food

Ken,

The harmful effects of the toxic hormone disruptor bisphenol A, or BPA, are no secret.

Over the last 20 years, scientists have linked the synthetic estrogen to a number of serious illnesses, including breast cancer, reproductive damage, developmental problems and heart disease.

While some companies have publicly pledged to stop using BPA in their cans, far too many continue to sell products laced with this chemical to millions of American consumers.

EWG scrutinized more than 250 canned food brands to find out which of them packed their food into cans coated with BPA-laden epoxy. What we discovered may shock you: Brands including Target’s Market Pantry, Bush’s and more than 75 others still use epoxy-lined cans for all their products.

Click here to take action: Sign EWG’s petition and demand that these companies stop using this dangerous chemical immediately! Plus, when you take action today to stand up for consumers’ rights, we’ll send you a surprise gift.

There are NO federal regulations requiring manufacturers to label their products so that consumers can identify cans with BPA-based linings. That means it’s up to us – American consumers – to take matters into our own hands and demand a change.

While there are lingering questions about the safety of replacement chemicals, the fact remains, we know BPA is toxic and we shouldn’t be eating it in our canned food.

We can't let big brands like Target’s Market Pantry, Bush’s and others continue exposing their customers to this dangerous chemical. It’s time they join other companies and pledge to stop using BPA in their cans NOW.

When you take action today, we’ll send you a special gift from EWG to help you shop for healthy foods and non-toxic products.

Click here to sign the petition calling on more than 75 food brands to remove BPA from their cans.

Thanks for speaking up. Together, we’ll make sure the canned food industry hears us loud and clear.
