## Abstract

Project Summary / Abstract for State of Rhode Island PAR-20-105 Laboratory Flexible 
Funding Model (LFFM) (U19) Application. Discipline B: Chemistry, Track 2: Human 
Food Product Testing 
Project Summary/Abstract 
The purpose of this project is for the Rhode Island State Health Laboratories (RISHL) to 
engage in the systematic chemical analysis of human food products as part of ongoing 
surveillance sampling conducted in conjunction with our partners in the RIDOH Center 
for Food Protection (CFP). This surveillance program will result in the analysis of fruit 
juices for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), with ultimate goal of helping 
advance knowledge on potential PFAS exposure from food. This research will assist in 
assessing the safety of human food from specific areas potentially affected by 
environmental contamination and hopefully help identify and prioritize future activities to 
reduce PFAS in human food.
