Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), which include PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that can accumulate in water, soil, animals, and humans. Due to their health and environmental impacts, these contaminants have been in focus of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for several years. Eurofins Food & Feed Testing offers accredited analysis for a great variety of PFAS substances.
