| Remarks | EFSA derived a new TWI related to perfluorinated compounds in 2020. The TWI of 4.4 ng/kg bw per week applied to the sum of four perflourinated compounds (PFCs): perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perflurononanoic acid (PFNA), and perflurorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS). All four PFCs are covered by this ring test. Two test materials are provided. A sample of infant formula as well as a sample of a ready-to-eat babyfood, which contains fish products. Both materials contain spiked and/or incurred levels of the four PFCs. The test is designed for low levels of PFCs in babyfood, thus LOQs of 0.3 µg/kg are required for all PFCs mentioned above. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
