TL;DR: The estimated mean chronic dietary exposure was above the group‐TDI in infants, toddlers and other children, and at high exposure also in adolescents and adults, indicating a potential health concern.

TL;DR: For PFOS, the increase in serum total cholesterol in adults, and the decrease in antibody response at vaccination in children were identified as the critical effects and the CONTAM Panel established a tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of 13 ng/kg body weight (bw) per week for PFOS and 6 ng/ kg bw for PFOA.

TL;DR: The CONTAM Panel was not able to identify reference values in most farm and companion animals with the exception of NOAELs for mink, chicken and some fish species, and the estimated exposure from feed for these species does not imply a risk.

TL;DR: A scientific opinion on free and esterified 3- and 2-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (MCPD) and glycidyl esters in food was delivered and chronic treatment with glycidol increased the incidence of tumours in several tissues of rats and mice.

TL;DR: There is a possible concern for human health related to the exposure to PAs, in particular for frequent and high consumers of tea and herbal infusions, according to the EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain.
