BPA -Free Tomatoes Do Not Exist!
This is an article from The Soft Landing, who carries our products, and does amazing research on eco-friendly products. I was floored to read this:
We recently shared our pathetic findings when searching for pre-prepared tomatoes in BPA-free containers. Several of our amazing readers came to the rescue with possibilities we hadn’t heard of, so we started the process of confirming with the each manufacturer. We ended up with two positively BPA-free options and still have one more that may be added to the list soon. You’ll notice that both of the brands listed below are using aseptic carton packaging made by Tetra Pak, which opened up a whole new research project. We have a slew of new info on that front that we’ll be sharing with you very soon.
Pomi Tomatoes
We spoke with makers of Pomi Tomatoes, Boschi Food & Beverage of Italy, and confirmed that their containers are 100% BPA-free. They offer a nice line of tomato products including chopped, strained and marinara sauce. All can be found in the USA at Pennsylvania Macaroni Co. and Amazon.com, although inventory levels seem to fluctuate based on availability.
