BPA: The Impacts of Bisphenol A

City Market has signed on support for a bill put forth by Senator Ginny Lyons to ban the distribution and manufacture of any reusable food products (water bottles, baby bottles, Tupperware, etc) that contain BPA.  The bill follows suit with other states and cities and forces Industry to deal with the problem where the FDA has failed to protect consumers. We support the long-term goal of removing BPA from our food system.

Product Recall

A voluntary recall for Children’s Tylenol Plus- Multi-Symptom Cold (Grape Flavor). The affected Lot# is ALM419 with an expiration date of 09/11.
