Why PFAS Testing Matters

PFAS Testing is Critical for Food Safety & Brand Integrity

  • PFAS (“forever chemicals”) are linked to serious health concerns.

  • Regulators globally are enforcing stricter MRLs in food packaging and ingredients.

  • Failure to comply can result in recalls, fines, and reputational damage.

PFAS compounds can enter food products through:

  • Contaminated source water

  • Packaging materials and liners

  • Manufacturing equipment

  • Agricultural runoff in fruits

  • Food given to animals

Even trace levels can pose health concerns and result in regulatory violations, recalls, or brand damage. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer, low birth weights, and high cholesterol. Also negative effects on the liver and thyroid, and can compromise the human immune and cardiovascular systems.

Stay Ahead of Regulations

New U.S. EPA limits on PFAS in drinking water are driving stricter downstream expectations for food producers. ADPEN helps you stay compliant and ahead of public health concerns—with testing solutions trusted by global brands and regulators alike.
