A new database launched by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) is aimed at helping consumers identify food products that may be packaged in materials containing bisphenol A, or BPA, the controversial endocrine-disrupting chemical that alters hormones and has been linked to serious health issues including cancer, infertility, brain, nervous system and cardiovascular abnormalities, diabetes, and obesity.

More than 900 brands makes up the 16,000 + products called out by EWG, including dozens of organic food products including the Whole Foods 365 private label items and Wolfgang Puck's organic pasta sauces and soups. Numerous Trader Joe’s private label items also made the list including salsa, pickles, and olives.
The EWG database is here and you can search it for foods. http://www.ewg.org/foodscores/content/bpa_bombshell_industry_database

Ouch!

Yup, I'm a fan of glass containers, despite their weight and breakability.
