#32026H1307EU recommends PFAS monitoring in animal feed
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The recommendation asks EU countries to collect more data on PFAS contamination in animal feed, and where relevant in soil used by grazing animals. The goal is to understand how these long-lasting chemicals move from feed, soil, and water into meat, eggs, fish, and other foods of animal origin. Feed businesses, farmers, laboratories, and food safety authorities may see more sampling and monitoring activity. The recommendation does not set new binding limits for feed, but it prepares the ground for possible future controls if the data show a risk.
