Abstract Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) is determined in canned oily foods from Austria using a new simplified HPLC method. Samples are extracted with pentane, back extracted with methanol, and finally dissolved in the mobile phase (cyclohexane/tert–butyl methyl ether). Separation is performed on a normal-phase HPLC column using fluorescence detection. Verification of the BADGE-containing peak is carried out by using off-line GC-MS. Additionally, the synthesis and determination of BADGE hydrolysis products, Bisphenol A bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) ether (BADGE.2H2O) and Bisphenol A glycidyl (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) ether (BADGE.H2O) are presented. From 67 analyzed cans, containing various fatty meat or fish products, 16% were above the maximum quantity of 1 mg/kg tolerated by the European Community, 45% were in the range between 0.1–1 mg/kg, 24% between 0.02 and 0.1 mg/kg, and in 15% the BADGE concentrations were below the detection limit of 0.02 mg/kg. The hydrolysis product BADGE.H2O was not detected in any sample, whereas BADGE.2H2O was found in some samples up to a concentration of 0.5 mg/kg.
