Are the cans lined with the white stuff that is bad for all of us?

Just checked the Turkey Formula variety-- the can's interior is a very pale gray in color, while the exterior is a rather goldish-bronze in color, so it could very well be lined. There is no indication of the interior/lining's composition on the label. Wish I could be of more help, but these observations are the extent of my knowledge.

Yes - it is bad!! They do not taste too bad, but not worth it. I had horrible gas, boating, and spent way too much time in the restroom afterwards. :(

No. I don't consider this a serious health risk. You could probably drink this stuff with no problem. But suit yourself.

BPA is a plasticizer added to can coatings and plastics to keep them flexible during their manufacturing process and to add long term stability against degradation during the expected life cycle of the product for which they are used. In my opinion, glass packaging is the safest form of food packaging for products that are to be stored at room temperature and even here, the screw-on closure has a plastic coating on its interior surface to protect the metal lid from the food contents. Since BPA is used in water clear plastic bottle, the absence of a white substance on a can coating which one reviewer alluded to is not a guarantee that the coating is BPA free. The white is probably Titanium Dioxide, the whitest substance known to man, expensive but safe and looks a lot better then some of the other can coatings used but its used as a filler for appearance sake and is not a plasticizer. In my opinion, I don't think the can used for sardine packaging is BPA free. However, given the wide spread use of BPA and there being no known epidemic of people dying from its use, I'd say, "Eat the sardine, they are good for you and you will die from something anyway". If you pressure some food packagers they will admit that "they are hard at work looking for a substitute" and I believe them but the fact is that BPA is doing the job successfully at a price the supplier is willing to pay. Tin is another issue. The price of tin has gotten so high that I doubt any food packager is using it, the reader may be looking at the chromium plated steel base sheet with a clear can coating applied over it which proved to be successful under very demanding conditions some years ago.

I'm pretty sure it says on the can to use in a well ventilated area specifically for this reason. Additionally, most of these products(fixative, finishes, etc..) will have a smell to them and should be used with good ventilation.

I have no idea? Here's a site you can look at.... http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/11/concerning-levels-of-bpa-found-in-thanksgiving-canned-foods/#.UjnwGX-uPm4

The cans from my latest order (a couple of months ago) are all dated "Best by Sept. 2017", which means that they are actually good beyond that...so I have no concerns there. Hope this helps!

The simplehuman can is not "hermetically" sealed, but it does have a firm, reasonably tight lid closure. I would still not leave odiferous material in any waste can for any length of time, since any objectionable odors will drift out into the surrounding space every time the can is opened. The good thing about this can is that it has a self-closing lid, so the lid does not remain open for long after use. We are very pleased with all aspects of this attractive, user-friendly waste can.

I don't have the container anymore, but you can click on the contents on amazon, and you will see it's full of chemicals, which is why I won't use them anymore. I listed the contents for another person, look on the comments.

Unfortunately, it may not be. It depends on what seller you order from. The product I received today is the newer version and not as pictured on Amazon. It's missing the round 'Original Formula' label and the ingredients are different from my can of the original kind.

Yes, and it is below all acceptable levels that naturally occur in our food and water and air. For exact numbers, you should contact Carlson's.

Hi, There's no coating on the inside of the can. These are organic, and since 10/11 organic canned tomatoes haven't used BPA lining. You can tell if the inside of the can is orangey, no lining. If the inside is white, then there's still a BPA lining. My cans are orangey inside :-). Great tomatoes, btw.

sure, it's strips. seemed like a whole box, like the kind you buy at the store. it wasn't that bad. I bought another can after I opened the first one.

I never have. I have purchased dozens of these over the past year but nothing but pure white albacore {I hope} was in the can. I have had many damaged/dented cans but so far no real issues with the content.

I would say yes you received a bad batch as mine has always been milky white. Great product though! Works great!!

Hi there!!! Well I could not find anything on the can that pertains to your issue, but I have used this product myself with no problems. If you contact NIOSH Corp. they could tell you more. Hope this helps in some way. steve

Sorry, I don't have the cans anylonger as I already used them. The cans came in terrible shape because of the way they were shipped, someone just threw them around, but they are cans so they made it intact. Honestly, I wouldn't buy them again, I just go to the store (Smart & Final in the San Francisco Bay Area) and get the same thing for the same price
