    Hi everyone - I recently read an article in Organic Living magazine talking about how the lids of typical canning jars have a coating on them containing bisphenol A. The article said that if your food doesn't touch the lid it should be fine but otherwise there is a possibility of contamination. The article said that Weck jars do not have metal lids and therefore there is no chance for contamination. I am deciding what kind of canning jars to purchase and not sure how concerned I should be. Is the bisphenol A in canning jar lids a concern to anyone else?...

    It is not a concern to me because you aren't supposed to fill the jars to the brim any way. I've been using canning jars for 35 years without problems.

    If it bothers YOU don't use them. It is only you who matter in this decision. Not intending to come across as mean or angry, but you are the one who would worry about it. If you can live with them and not stress about it that's great, if you can't then there is the answer for you.

    Hope that made sense.
