About

Research project seeks a supplier to develop analytical capabilities for measuring PFAS and to generate risk-assessment-ready data on PFAS occurrence in food packaging and other food contact materials (FCMs) and their migration into food. The project will improve understanding of the extent to which these materials may contribute to PFAS detected in food relative to other sources, reduce current data gaps in the evidence base, enable a more accurate assessment of risks to human health, identify issues for the FSA’s risk analysis process, and support future policy decision-making.
