show me what you look like without skin.

I love this company. I’ve been eating their microwaveable meals and soups since I was a wee, poor college student who couldn’t really afford to eat their products, but did so anyhow. So when I read this article about how BPA is in every can in the supermarket, I got a little annoyed, especially when I learned another natural foods company named Eden uses cans which do not contain it.

So I picked up the phone and called them. I spoke to a Customer Relations rep (i.e. an in-house PR person) and asked why Amy’s uses cans with BPA. I got the good news that they’re in the final stages of testing new cans without it and will be hopefully on the market in July. She spent seven minutes of her day explaining to me how they’ve been testing cans for a year, why they can’t use the cans Eden uses (anything with tomato in the can will corrode it due to natural acids found in tomatoes) and how seriously they take this issue.

It’s nice when companies do the right thing.
