A suite of analytical techniques was used to obtain a comprehensive picture of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in selected Canadian food packaging used for fast foods (n = 42). Particleinduced gamma ray emission spectroscopy revealed that 55% of the samples contained <3580, 19% contained 3580-10 800, and 26% > 10 800 µg F/m2. The highest total F (1 010 000-1 300 000 µg F/m2) was measured in molded "compostable" bowls. Targeted analysis of 8 samples with high total F revealed 4-15 individual PFAS in each sample, with 6:2 fluorotelomer methacrylate (FTMAc) and 6:2 fluorotelomer alcohol (FTOH) typically dominating. Up to 34% of the total fluorine was released from samples after hydrolysis, indicating the presence of unknown precursors. Nontargeted analysis detected 22 PFAS from 6 different groups, including degradation products of FTOH. Results indicate the use of side-chain fluorinated polymers and suggest that these products can release short-chain compounds that ultimately can be transformed to compounds of toxicological concern. Analysis after 2 years of storage showed overall decreases in PFAS consistent with the loss of volatile compounds such as 6:2 FTMAc and FTOH. The use of PFAS in food packaging such as "compostable" bowls represents a regrettable substitution of single-use plastic food packaging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, concern has arisen about the potential for compounds in food packaging, such as bisphenyl A (BPA), to migrate into food. Rafael Paseiro-Cerrato of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has conducted studies to investigate this concern. Specifically, those studies have addressed various types of can coatings in both short-term and long-term studies, as well as the question of whether short-term study protocols accurately simulate migration during longer-term storage. He used a range of analytical techniques, including gas chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) combined with a diode array detector (DAD), charged aerosol detection (CAD), mass spectrometry (MS), and high-resolution MS (HRMS). He also investigated direct analysis in real time-MS (DART MS). Here, he talks to us about that work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
