PFAS are a class of about 15,000 compounds used to make products that resist water, stains and heat.
They are linked to cancer, kidney disease, liver problems, immune disorders, birth defects and other serious health problems.
The Food and Drug Administration does not have limits in place on PFAS in food.
There are some steps you can take to reduce your exposure and protect your health.
Saltwater fish may be safer than freshwater US fish because PFAS are more diluted in the ocean than in rivers or lakes.
People who are fishing should pay attention to states’ do-no-eat advisories, though those are often inadequate.
