Foodmakers are having a tough time finding alternatives to bisphenol A, the chemical that's been implicated in health issues and is used widely in the wares sold in your grocery store. The Washington Post recently described the frantic rush to find BPA alternatives among major food makers, who use it in container linings, but didn't find any them who wanted to go on the record about it:
