Food Ingredients
PFAS can naturally occur in food.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends against: (source)
“Eating fish caught from water contaminated by PFAS”
“Eating food (meat, dairy, and vegetables) produced near places where PFAS were used or made.”
There are no PFAS production plants in Nevada. (source)
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to trace and investigate the source of all ingredients in your food.
Food Packaging
However, you can reduce the risk from food packaging. Food wrappers and containers are often lined with PFAS, and this can leak into your food. According to the International Pollutants Elimination Network, “avoid using disposable food packaging whenever possible.”

Nonstick Pans
Nonstick pans contain PFAS. However, the form of PFAS in these pans, PTFE (a.k.a. Teflon), is not dangerous and cannot be absorbed. If you overheat these pans, the PTFE can break down, creating gases that cause “Teflon flu.” You should not heat nonstick pans on high, especially without food in them.
