Despite alarms about PFAS in micropopcorn, ten out of twelve tested varieties on Swedish store shelves contain no traces of the toxic chemicals, a lab test conducted by Råd & Rön shows.
Two of the varieties contain traces of PFAS, but such a small amount that it is probably pollution caused by the environment and not something that the manufacturer used in the manufacturing process of the product.
Several tests over the years have shown that micro-popcorn contained PFAS, especially the bags, because the chemicals repel fat and water.
PFAS is a group of chemicals that are very hard to break down and are sometimes called forever chemicals. They can accumulate in the body and be linked to, among other things, various types of cancer.
