Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFAS)

Perfluorobutanoic Acid / PFBA

PFBA is a short-chain perfluoroalkyl acid used industrially for its water and stain-resistant properties. It is persistent in the environment and bioaccumulative to a lesser extent than long-chain PFAS. PFBA is not a food ingredient but a material contaminant of concern due to environmental and human health impacts. It is not approved for ingestion and exposure primarily occurs via contaminated water or products.
