Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Food

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants with neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, embryotoxicity, and carcinogenicity, and have been included in the List of Key New Pollutants under Priority Control (2023 Edition). Consuming food contaminated with PFCs poses a potential threat to human health. PFAS have been confirmed to increase the risk of reproductive and endocrine system disorders, and may even induce cancer and other reproductive diseases in humans and animals. Carrying out this program can enhance the technical capability of relevant food testing institutions and safeguard food safety.
