- FDA rejected petition to set limits on PFAS in food, despite EPA findings that food is the main exposure source.
- PFAS are linked to serious health issues like cancer and persist in the environment as 'forever chemicals'.
- Testing found high PFAS levels in seafood, milk, produce, and beer, with one serving equivalent to drinking contaminated water.
- FDA plans non-binding action levels instead of mandatory limits, allowing contaminated food to stay on shelves.
- Limited testing and methodology changes by FDA may understate contamination levels, raising public health concerns.
