Migration of Bisphenol A (BPA) from Epoxy Can Coatings to Jalapeno Peppers and an Acid Food Simulant

ACS Publications: "Effects of heat processing, storage time, and temperature on migration of bisphenol A (BPA) from an epoxy type can coating to an acid food simulant and jalapeno peppers were determined."

The highest level of BPA found in jalapeño peppers cans, surveyed from three supermarkets, was 5.59 ± 2.43 μg/kg. Migration of BPA, performed according to the European and Mercosur conditions, was 65.45 ± 5.29 μg/kg. All the migration values found in this study were below those legislation limits (3 mg/kg).
