Seneca Foods and Valspar debut industry-leading valPure® can linings in flagship Libby’s® brand canned vegetables.

The valPure® lining has been evaluated using Safety by Design, a process modeled on pharmaceutical development, ensuring a safe and sustainable solution. As the first major canned vegetable processor to switch to BPA non-intent linings, Seneca has updated its labels to provide greater transparency of the materials used in place of BPA.
