Thanks for the tip off Jazzy. I never ever use any soup other than home made for these exact reasons. There was a Kerfuffle here not long ago where It seemed some food claiming to be Organic, were infact not.

The food might well be BPA free - it the canning that's likely to have added it :-

Epoxy resins containing bisphenol A are used as coatings on the inside of almost all food and beverage cans
