Advanced analytical solutions supporting product safety, transparency, and market trust

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a broad group of synthetic chemicals that are raising increasing concern. Their exceptional stability and persistence in the environment lead to accumulation in both environmental and biological systems, intensifying concerns about their potential impact on human health.

PFAS are widely used across multiple industries due to their resistance to heat, water, and grease. They can be found in a variety of applications, including food packaging materials, non-stick cookware, cosmetics, textiles, and other consumer and industrial products. This widespread presence, combined with their persistence, has placed PFAS under increasing regulatory scrutiny. As a result, PFAS testing has become an essential tool for industries such as food and cosmetics, where product safety, regulatory compliance, and consumer trust are critical. The ability to detect and assess PFAS enables businesses to better understand potential risks, ensure compliance with regulatory limits, and support product claims and safety documentation. In this context, the detection and evaluation of PFAS are no longer just a matter of compliance, but a critical component of risk management. Businesses are increasingly required to demonstrate product safety, meet regulatory expectations, and ensure transparency towards the market.

At QACSFOOD, we provide specialized PFAS testing solutions, supporting the industry in the detection, identification, and evaluation of these substances across a wide range of materials and applications.

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste, QACSFOOD performs PFAS determination analyses in packaging materials, supporting compliance with current and emerging European legislation. Our services are fully aligned with evolving regulatory requirements and continuously updated in line with scientific developments.
