I would choose sardines packed in salt water, not in any sort of oil. Salt water is going to leech less of the BPA from the lining of the sardines can into the sardines. And if you can find sardines packed in glass, that's going to be even better because there's no BPA in glass.

If you want to eat sardines, this is what you must look for. Sardines packed in salt water, not oil, preferably in glass, and with an expiration date that's 4 to 5 years from now, as far in the future as possible.
