Comprehensive analysis of PFAS presence from environment to plate

This publication addresses the topic of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as an emerging environmental risk impacting food
products and ecosystems.

This study analyzes over 150,000 entries from food safety authorities and scientific publications from 2017 onwards. Our findings show that fish & seafood, and biota have the highest PFAS concentrations due to environmental contamination and bioaccumulation. Surface water samples also frequently contain PFAS, raising concerns about long-term ecological and human health effects. Comprehensive strategies are essential to mitigate these risks.
