PFAS means per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a large class of man-made fluorinated chemicals. Certain PFAS have been used because they can provide resistance to oil, grease, water, heat, and stains. In consumer and industrial products, PFAS have appeared in applications such as non-stick cookware, water-repellent textiles, stain-resistant fabrics, firefighting foams, and some grease-resistant food packaging. When a food packaging product is described as PFAS-free, the claim should usually mean that PFAS are not intentionally added to the product.
