Food and packaging testing for bisphenols and PFAS
To discuss your needs
Ensure regulatory compliance with our comprehensive analytical testing services for bisphenols (incl. BPA, BPS, BPF) and PFAS
With tightening global regulations and growing consumer scrutiny around PFAS and bisphenols (such as bisphenol A), retailers and brand owners require evidence of compliance (for example to the Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)).
Proactive testing helps demonstrate compliance, identify issues early and prevent costly disruptions.
