Yes, BPA-epoxy lined cans are on their way out. 93% of Americans have measurable levels of BPA in their bodies, with food packaging representing the largest exposure route. There has been a widespread public concern with BPA toxicity exposure, so can companies got rid BPA because of growing concerns of it causing problems with increased risk of infertility, breast and prostate cancer, type-2 diabetes, obesity, asthma, and attention deficit disorder, neurological and immune systems in humans and animals.
What are can manufacturers using now? There's is a growing concern that polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and styrene-based plastics are now being used as BPA-free can lining materials. Styrene is a human carcinogen and PVC is made from the carcinogen, vinyl chloride monomer. For some reason, there is a big push using aluminum cans for beer and other beverage companies. I wonder why? Glass bottles have always been better for taste in beverages.
Same with many food cans, take a look inside. That's why you see odd things like "BPA-free" metal containers.
