FDA's Inaction on Pfas in Food Exposes Public to Further Risk The US Food and Drug Administration's rejection of a petition to set limits on toxic Pfas "forever chemicals" in food marks another disturbing chapter in the agency's handling of public health concerns.
Despite mounting evidence of widespread contamination, the FDA opted for non binding "action levels" that do little to ensure consumer safety.
While the Environmental Protection Agency has acknowledged that food is a significant source of Pfas exposure, the FDA seems more interested in managing risk perception than actual risk.
