Campbell Soup revealed today that it plans to completely switch to cans that do not use bisphenol A (BPA) linings by the middle of 2017. In a statement released by Campbell on Monday, the company said it started to transition to linings made from acrylic or polyester materials this month and will continue to introduce the new linings across its U.S. and Canadian products through 2017.

The products that will be packaged in non-BPA lined cans include all varieties of Campbell’s soups and gravies, Swanson broth and SpaghettiOs pasta, Campbell said in a statement.

The company said it is on track to have 75 percent of its soup in non-BPA lined cans by December 2016 and is currently testing alternatives to BPA coatings used on other packaging, including aluminum cans used for V8beverages and metal screw top lids on glass jars.

Campbell said the company is on track to transition all products to a non-BPA solution by the middle of 2017.
