I have an allergy to canned salmon. The label shows that there is
only salmon and salt. I heard that manufacturers spray a chemical in
tin cans so the food will not react with the metal in the can. Is
this true and if so, what kind of chemical is it? Any reply is
appreciated. Thanks.

It's a lacquer. How do you know that you are allergic to canned salmon?
Do you have the same problems with canned tuna? How about canned
beans? How about fresh or frozen salmon?

Traces of "bisphenol-A" have been found in canned vegatables, picked up
from the lacquer coating in the cans, but that's not the sort of thing
one is allergic to.
