Tests Show Cancer-Causing Chemical In Some Canned Foods

KGTV San Diego: "Bay Area-based Anresco Laborties tested canned goods 10News purchased at local stores.

The lab tested a can of Bush's Best Black Beans and found the concentration of BPA was 10.5 parts per billion.

In the same test of a can of Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli, the concentration of BPA was 261 parts per billion.

ConAgra, which owns Chef Boyardee, told 10News the company is working to convert to non-BPA lined cans.

'We are confident it is safe,' ConAgra Vice President Theresa Paulson said. 'We are changing because of consumer interest in BPA.'"
