Description
This research project aims to increase the Food Standards Agency's understanding about the concentration levels of PFAS in food products consumed in the UK and includes those grown or reared in the UK. The data will help to reduce some of the current data gaps in the evidence base. This will therefore enable a more accurate
assessment of the risk to human health as well as identify any issues to take through
the FSA’s risk analysis process and support future policy requirements/decision
making.
