    Brief

    The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is seeking research to measure and document the concentration levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a variety of food products, including those consumed in the UK and those grown or reared domestically. This project will generate critical data to fill existing gaps in understanding PFAS contamination across the food supply chain. The findings will enable the FSA to: assess potential health risks to UK consumers more accurately, identify priority areas for regulatory action, and inform future food safety policies and decision-making. PFAS are persistent chemical compounds of increasing concern to food safety authorities worldwide.
