Recommendation
The Government should set limits on the levels and types of PFAS permitted in food, giving producers, retailers, and regulators a consistent basis for protecting public health. This should include establishing and monitoring 45 limits on PFAS entering the food chain through agricultural processes. The Government should publish these limits within three months of the publication of the Committee on Toxicity’s review to draw on the expertise. (Recommendation, Paragraph 77)
