Hengyuan Fine Chemical's One-Stop PFAS Testing Solution Empowers Global Food Safety Compliance

Introduction: PFAS Regulations Intensify – Is Your Laboratory Ready?
As global regulations on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) become increasingly stringent, food and food packaging safety testing is entering a new "dual-standards" era. The recently released AOAC International SMPR 2023.003 (for food) and SMPR 2025.001 (for food packaging) establish a comprehensive PFAS regulatory framework spanning the entire supply chain—from farm to table, and from raw materials to finished products. This places unprecedented stringent demands on the analytical capabilities of testing laboratories. Faced with complex target analyte lists, sophisticated isotope dilution techniques, and rigorous quality control (QC) standards, how to quickly establish compliant and reliable testing capabilities has become a common industry challenge.

Hengyuan Fine Chemical, through an in-depth interpretation of the core requirements of these standards, provides a one-stop solution from certified reference materials (CRMs) to precise quantification. Leveraging our complete system of CRMs covering 61 PFAS across 10 major categories and a full suite of isotopically labeled internal standards, we empower your laboratory to effortlessly meet new regulations and gain a competitive edge from the starting line of compliance.

I. Regulatory Escalation: Why is the "Dual-Standards" Era Here?
These two standards are not isolated technical documents but critical components within the global food safety regulatory network.

• Regulatory Synergy, Building a Seamless Network: AOAC SMPRs strongly synergize with monitoring plans from the U.S. FDA, assessment opinions from the EU EFSA, and China's GB standard system. SMPR 2025.001 directly responds to the wave of PFAS bans in food packaging in states like New York and California, USA. Mastering these methods means your laboratory possesses a "compliance passport" to serve the global supply chain.
• Full-Chain Coverage, Plugging Risk Loopholes:
  • SMPR 2023.003: Focuses on food itself, covering all categories including agricultural products, livestock, poultry, and aquatic products, strictly preventing PFAS from entering the human body via the food chain.
  • SMPR 2025.001: Targets food packaging and contact materials, covering paper products, plastics, molded fiber, etc., preventing PFAS migration from packaging to food.
• Stringent Technical Requirements, Clear Scenario Differentiation: Both standards have independent and strict stipulations on core performance indicators such as detection limits, recovery rates, and precision. Laboratories must establish independent and reliable analytical capabilities for the two distinct matrices of food and packaging.

II. Core of the Standards: Detailed Analysis of Key Requirements and Challenges of the Two SMPRs
Meeting the new standards first requires understanding their rigorous scientific design and technical details.

• Extensively Comprehensive Testing Scope: The two standards collectively cover over 105 PFAS analytes, encompassing 10 major compound classes. This includes traditional perfluoroalkyl carboxylic/sulfonic acids to emerging fluorotelomers, sulfonamide derivatives, and their degradation products, achieving full-spectrum monitoring "from parent compounds to transformation products."
• Explicit and Stringent Technical Indicators:

• Three Pillars of Quality Control: The authority of the standards is built upon an impeccable quality control system.
  1. High-Purity Certified Reference Materials (CRMs): Calibration curves must be established using native (unlabeled) standards covering all target compounds.
  2. Isotopically Labeled Internal Standards (IS): Mandatory use of ¹³C or deuterium-labeled internal standards (e.g., M8-PFOA, M8-PFOS) added prior to sample preparation to correct for matrix effects and recovery losses. This is the lifeline for accurate quantification.
  3. Systematic QC Design: Includes system suitability/QC check standards, cholic acid kits for co-elution checks, proficiency testing samples (e.g., FAPAS), etc., ensuring end-to-end reliability from instrument status to final data.

III. The Solution: A One-Stop Certified Reference Material (CRM) Solution
