“FDA concluded that the petition did not provide sufficient scientific evidence to support establishing tolerances or action levels for the specific PFAS, foods and levels requested.”
Forever chemicals are in the seafood and the milk, and the FDA says the science is not good enough to do anything about it. Translation: the burden lands on advocates, never on the agency that is supposed to protect the food supply. Instead of enforceable limits, the FDA promises non-binding “action levels” that let contaminated food stay on the shelf. The chemical industry could not have written a friendlier outcome.
