BPA is a primary ingredient in many epoxy resins. Findings from the Consortium Linking Academic and Regulatory Insights on BPA Toxicity (CLARITY) indicate that consumer exposure to BPA is extremely low and that BPA is rapidly eliminated from the body. The results from the CLARITY Core Study now confirm that there is no risk of health effects from BPA at typical human exposure levels.9 By protecting food from contamination and spoilage, cans with epoxy resin linings have a shelf life of two years or longer, which can be essential to feeding larger numbers of people in disaster relief.
