FDA rejects petition to establish PFAS limits in U.S. food supply

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a decision on a petition concerning PFAS. The agency declined to set specific limits for these chemicals in food. The rejection means existing regulations remain unchanged. Petitioners had sought tighter safety standards for PFAS. The FDA cited insufficient evidence to justify new limits. Stakeholders will need to consider alternative approaches. The outcome may affect future discussions on food safety. Observers will watch for any follow‑up actions or policy reviews.
