Several food contact articles (FCAs) contaminated with unapproved brominated flame retardants (BFRs) purchased in the US market were analysed and subjected to migration tests. Migration tests were performed in food simulants (water, 3% acetic acid, 10% ethanol and 50% ethanol) and food (milk, coffee and chicken bouillon soup) to evaluate the BFRs mass transfer from the contaminated FCA. The BFRs studied, 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP), 3,3',5,5'-tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), and 1,2,5,6,9,10-hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) were analysed by UHPLC-MS/MS. The method validation parameters were r
