Petition To Campbell's Soup To Remove BPA

Change.org has put together an online petition, asking Campbell's Soups to remove BPA (Bisphenol A), from their products. I've signed the petition, after just learning about the recent Consumers Reports investigation.

As mentioned on Change.org's site, the food processing world is in a tailspin after a shocking new series of tests. Released just this week, Consumer Reports revealed that many leading brands of canned foods contain Bisphenol A (BPA)—a toxic chemical linked to health risks including reproductive abnormalities, neurological effects, heightened risk of breast and prostate cancers, diabetes, heart disease and other health problems.

Consumer Reports found that major canned food companies including Campbell’s Soup are using cans that leach Bisphenol A (BPA) into food. This petition to Campbell's Soup, may be a way for them to set the example for other food processing companies.
