Determination of levels of PFAS in (+ migrating from) Food Contact Materials FCM

Description: This research project aims to develop analytical capabilities for measuring PFAS and to generate risk-assessment-ready data on PFAS occurrence in food packaging and other FCMs and their migration into food, enabling a better understanding of the extent to which these materials may contribute to PFAS detected in food relative to other sources of contamination. This information 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.

Summary: The Food Standards Agency is commissioning research and laboratory services to determine levels of PFAS in food contact materials, including food packaging, and to measure migration into food. The work will develop analytical capability and produce data suitable for risk assessment, helping identify contamination sources, close evidence gaps, assess risks to human health and support future regulatory and policy decisions. The scope includes research, sampling, analytical method development and validation, laboratory testing, data generation and interpretation. Delivery is for the Food Standards Agency, with activities focused on food contact materials and their interaction with food. The procurement is categorised as research and development, research laboratory and laboratory services.

To conduct UK dietary exposure assessments, the FSA uses consumption data in combination with occurrence data for hazards and other substances in food. UK consumption data is primarily obtained from (read more...)
