Bisphenol A is found on the inside of almost every canned good. So this would apply to any food product that comes in a can.

It's even on the inside of the lid of my Ball canning lids, so when I can my home grown organic food, it's tainted by this checmical during the actual canning process.

Likewise, this is the same chemical that is in Nalgene type sports water bottles and why more and more people are moving away from plastic in general.

This wiki page is a fairly good overview.
Bisphenol A - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bisphenol A current uses are as a primary monomer in polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. Bisphenol A is also used as an antioxidant in plasticizers and as a polymerization inhibitor in PVC.

Polycarbonates are widely used in many consumer products, including sunglasses, CDs, water and food containers, and shatter-resistant baby bottles. Some polymers used in dental fillings and sealants also contain bisphenol A. Epoxy resins containing bisphenol A are used to line nearly all metal food cans, including liquid and powdered infant formula containers
