The company said it does import into the US and Canada "a small quantity of canned products" with BPA liners. It added it is working with the suppliers of these products to convert to non-BPA liners by early next year.
"We recognise consumer interest in removing BPA from our cans and are pleased to be able to respond to that desire and offer food that our consumers can feel confident in," Gail Tavill, ConAgra's vice president for packaging and sustainable productivity, said.
