PFAS-Free Verification
What is PFAS-Free Verification?
PFAS-Free Verification indicates that a product has been tested and certified to be free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals commonly used in various consumer products for their water and grease resistance.
PFAS-free verification ensures consumers that their product has not been contaminated with these chemicals, which have been associated with environmental and health concerns. This verification is used in product labeling to assure users that the manufacturer's claims of being PFAS-free are credible.
When you see PFAS-Free Verification on a label, it suggests that the product went through testing by an independent body or followed a standard protocol to confirm the absence of these chemicals.
Commonly found in: Feminine Care, Cosmetics, Food Packaging, Cookware, Apparel
