Eggs, Salmon, Chicken Breast and Edamame are some of my favorites on the list.

    So eggs are a high source of PFAS, but they’re also one of the healthiest things I can eat.

    You know, I’m just gonna eat what tastes good.

        From what I’ve read about this subject, if you are mostly eating from home then you will avoid most PFAS. The highest levels of PFAS are found in grease-resistant containers. These types of containers are, typically, used in take-out restaurants for foods such as hamburgers and french fries.

          That’s what I thought. I didn’t know if certain food supply chains were more exposed to PFAS than others.

          The introduction of PFAS into food via containers is something I have been on the look out. That is is why I always use glass containers for food at home.

            I didn’t know if certain food supply chains were more exposed to PFAS than others.

            Currently, this is being studied. There just isn’t enough data yet. However, and generally speaking, most foods that are cultivated far from pesticides would be the safest. For example, ‘organic’ food supplies.
