The main objectives of this targeted survey were: to provide baseline data on the presence and levels of bisphenol-A (BPA) in canned vegetables/legumes, fruits, juices/beverages, pastas, soups, coconut milk, and curry sauces/products available on the Canadian retail market; and to compare the prevalence and the levels of BPA found in this survey with other Canadian and US Food and Drug Administration data, where feasible"--Executive summary, page 2.
