What are PFAS?

PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals that are used globally across various industries and products. Their persistence in the environment and potential negative health effects make their detection and analysis essential. PFAS are not biodegradable, which has earned this group of substances the nickname 'forever chemicals'.

PFAS Analysis

As a laboratory specializing in food, feed, and dairy, NutriControl understands the importance of accurate and reliable analyses in relation to food safety like no other. With growing concerns about the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the food chain, we offer comprehensive PFAS analyses that ensure transparency and safety in your eggs.

PFAS Analysis Method

Our PFAS analysis is conducted using advanced LC-MS/MS techniques, which also utilize internally labeled standards for the accuracy and reliability of the analytical results. This enables us to detect and quantify PFAS with a precision that is essential for food safety and compliance with current regulations.

Why is PFAS Analysis Important?

PFAS analysis is crucial for ensuring the safety of food products and protecting consumers against potential health risks. With increased attention on the impact of PFAS on health, it is more important than ever for producers, distributors, and retailers to be able to rely on the quality of their products.

PFAS Standards in Eggs (see REGULATION (EC) No. 1881/2006)

The European Union has imposed limits on the amount of PFAS in various food categories, including eggs. There are five limits for eggs, four standards for individual PFAS compounds, and one standard for the sum of these compounds:
