The survey examined the levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in several types of beverages packaged in can, glass, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers. Samples from 38 different soft drink and beer products were analyzed for BPA. With the exception of one bottled beer product, BPA was not detected in products stored in either glass or PET bottles. However, low levels of BPA were detected in all canned beer and soft drink products. The absence of BPA in beverages stored in plastic and glass containers indicate that the low levels of BPA found in canned beverages may be a result of migration from the can coating, rather than from concentrations from other sources (i.e.: water used in production).
