BPA: Which Canned Tomatoes Can You Buy?

Which Canned Tomatoes to buy?
Bisphenol-A or BPA is used as a lining on tin cans. Acidic foods can cause BPA to leach out and into the food we eat.
Organic Grace has compiled information from various food manufacturers as to whether they have BPA linings in their tomato cans. At this point it appears that only Trader Joe's & Westbrook Farms and perhaps Westbrea, though their website is vague, are a safe bet to eat.
