ℹ️ 130 PFAS have been detected in or found to migrate from food contact materials across 76 studies (2005 – 2024), according to our recently updated FCCmigex database.

🍳 PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of human-made chemicals used in various industrial and consumer products for their water-resistant, grease-resistant, and nonstick properties. They have been used since the 1940s in products like nonstick cookware, waterproof clothing, stain-resistant fabrics, food packaging, and firefighting foams.

🔎 The database allows users to browse scientific evidence of chemicals that have been found in food contact materials or shown to migrate from them into food or food simulants – all for free and in an easy-to-use dashboard.
