PFAS Testing in Food, Water, and Related Matrices

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals characterized by high environmental persistence and bioaccumulation potential within the food chain. These substances are classified as emerging contaminants and have received significant global regulatory attention due to their potential long-term health impacts. Regulatory limits and monitoring requirements have been established in multiple jurisdictions, including the European Union, the United States, and other export markets with stringent compliance requirements.

PFAS may enter food through contaminated water sources, raw materials, environmental exposure, or migration from food contact materials such as packaging. Laboratory analysis therefore plays a critical role in risk assessment, regulatory compliance, and export readiness.

Analytical Methodology

PFAS analysis is performed using Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), a highly sensitive and selective technique suitable for trace-level determination (low ng/kg or ng/L levels). The method enables accurate quantification of regulated and emerging PFAS compounds across diverse matrices.

Sample Types Covered

Our PFAS testing services cover a wide range of matrices, including:
  • Food products and food raw materials
  • Drinking water and process water
  • Environmental samples related to food production
  • Food contact materials (FCM) and food packaging

Target PFAS Compounds (Examples)

The analytical scope includes multiple PFAS compounds, such as:
  • PFOS (Perfluorooctane sulfonate)
  • PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid)
  • PFHxS (Perfluorohexane sulfonate)
  • PFNA (Perfluorononanoic acid)
  • PFDA (Perfluorodecanoic acid)
  • PFBS (Perfluorobutane sulfonate)

Additional PFAS analytes can be included based on regulatory requirements or client-specific compliance needs.

All analyses are conducted in accordance with relevant international standard methods, supported by rigorous laboratory quality control procedures to ensure accuracy, reliability, and data traceability. Test results can be used to support regulatory compliance, export documentation, and risk management strategies for global markets.
