PFAS Testing in Food, Beverages, & Packaging

Stay Ahead in a Developing Landscape for PFAS in Food Testing with Complete Workflow Solutions

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food is an emerging concern. Also known as forever chemicals, PFAS are pervasive and present throughout our ecosystems, accumulating in aquatic and terrestrial food chains, which become part of our diet. PFAS can also contaminate our food via food contact materials.

Whilst the initial focus for PFAS analysis has been primarily on environmental samples such as water and soil, there is a growing interest in quantifying their presence in the food chain.

In April 2023 the European Commission published regulation EU 2023/915 of maximum levels of certain contaminants in foodstuffs, describing maximum levels of 4 PFAS components. Agilent solutions for end-to-end workflows for the determination of PFAS in food can help you stay ahead of rising challenges. Our sensitive and robust PFAS in food analysis solutions are critical for ensuring food safety.

Exceeding EU Guidelines for the Determination of PFAS in Chicken Eggs

This webinar discusses the regulation and analysis of PFAS in chicken eggs. With reference to the European Commission’s 2023 regulation on maximum PFAS levels in food, a workflow for quantifying 21 PFAS using LC/MS/MS, emphasizing effective sample preparation to meet EU guidelines, is presented.
