PFAS 'Forever Chemicals' Exceed EPA Limits in Popular US Beers: Report

'Forever Chemicals' Exceed EPA Limits in Popular US Beers

A recent study has revealed the presence of PFAS, commonly known as 'forever chemicals,' in several popular beer brands across the United States. The concentrations of these chemicals were found to exceed the safety limits established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The research, published in Environmental Science & Technology (2025), analyzed samples from various anonymized beer products and detected concerning levels of PFAS. These substances are called 'forever chemicals' because they persist in the environment and human body for extended periods, potentially leading to adverse health effects.

Further investigation is warranted to determine the specific sources of PFAS contamination in the brewing process and to implement measures to mitigate the risk to consumers. More details will be released as the situation unfolds.
