BPA in store receipts, Kroger

[darkoshi]

I went to Kroger today, and the self-checkout had an option for no receipt (which I selected). There was no option for an emailed receipt. So after getting home, I logged into my Kroger account (based on the Kroger card) to check, and it has a "My Purchases" page. It lists each time I've shopped there with my card, listing everything purchased, along with the prices and even pictures of the items. Pretty neat. I hadn't noticed that the last time I logged in, when I was checking out the digital coupons which they now advertise sometimes on the shelves.

In 2011, Kroger phased out BPA from their receipts as well as their store-brand cans:

But they switched to BPS in the receipts, which is just as bad:

As of 2016, 62% of their store-brand cans still had BPA:

We have quite a list of where you can buy stuff in glass or sealed cardboard packaging to avoid cans. POMI produces tomato stuff (sauce, crushed, halved, chunks) in cardboard/foil, which was one of the hardest things to get in non-can format.
