PFASs are known to accumulate in the body and stay for long periods of time. Extensive testing measures highlight the risks associated with ongoing, significant exposure to PFASs, which can result in liver, kidney, and thyroid effects, as well as changes in cholesterol. All of which can prove harmful to consumers.

Fera food safety experts can highlight the presence and levels of Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) within your food samples. Our experienced team make use of extensive industry experience to provide the relevant insights required for key business decisions and together with our fast turnaround times you can ensure your samples are safe to offer consumers and comply with relevant regulations.




PFASs are a range of synthetic chemical compounds, which are used across a range of industries because of their waterproofing, greaseproofing and stain repellent properties. Within the food sector they are extensively used on cookware and other equipment that are regularly in contact with food, which can result in increased exposure to these potentially harmful contaminants. Other areas of potential exposure include contamination of soil and water used to grow food, food packaging, and the equipment used to process food. The use of extensive testing is invaluable when highlighting, and addressing, high levels of PFASs within your production processes.

Fera’s extensive analysis methods can prove invaluable to avoid potentially costly product recalls, refusal and loss of customer trust. As a result our accurate methods are best utilised within an ongoing due diligence testing regime, to safeguard your business against these regulatory risks.

Through Feras LC-MS analysis methods, accurate and detailed insights into the levels of these PFASs can be obtained. This can result in a range of improvements within your production processes, to ensure only safe products are offered to your customers.
