In searching online I found this article and now understand about how these TetraPaks are made. I'll never buy them again. Disappointed that these paks are no safer than cans lined with bpa.

(I take it you mean UNofficial information?)<br /><br />That's actually pretty scary to think about, and I wonder if there's anywhere one could have liquids tested for contaminant levels? Or perhaps if someone's done any research already... I'll have to google around a bit!Psychic Lunchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754670697306968194.post-83571081842517432502010-09-20T20:06:35.000-05:002010-09-20T20:06:35.000-05:00yes, official information, but I am allergic to an...yes, official information, but I am allergic to any liquids in TetraPaks... and I'm also allergic to any deo that contains aluminum. How come?<br />If I drink fresh milk, no problems at all, but if I drink tetrapak milk, the next day my whole belly and ampits are burning red...<br />According to my skin doctor, there are high levels of aluminum in any liquid stored in Tetrapak. No matter what Tetrapak tells you, I know what the consequences of consuming tetrapak liquids are... And if you are lucky and not allergic, you're ingesting high levels of aluminum anyway...Anthonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754670697306968194.post-10901546468282518902010-06-21T08:48:14.000-05:002010-06-21T08:48:14.000-05:00Thank you Laureen!

Our family has bought much of our almond milk in the tetra briks, and I did think it was pretty convenient. I think I'll have to figure out a way to make our "homebrewed" almond milk much more streamlined...Psychic Lunchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754670697306968194.post-67862229586487231422010-05-21T10:28:56.000-05:002010-05-21T10:28:56.000-05:00What terrible news!

From what Tetra Pak told me, the aluminum is completely covered by the polyethylene (LDPE) layer, at least for the tomato products. But, they (of course) did not mention that the plastic would leach synthetic estrogen. Okay, jars it is -- and a better garden. Thanks for your important post!Ellen@BodyEarth.netnoreply@blogger.com
