Mamavation sent 67 cooking oils comprising olive oil, canola oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, vegetable oil, & ghee products off to an EPA-certified lab and is now unveiling those laboratory results.

Canola oils were the only oils that had any indications of PFAS above 10 ppm, our minimum detection level.
PFAS “forever chemicals” are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances with over 12,000 different chemicals in their chemical class. PFAS chemicals are considered ubiquitous, persistent, and toxic which is why they were dubbed “forever chemicals.” You’ll likely find them anywhere something needs water-resistant, oil-resistant, or stain-resistant qualities. When they show up in food products, they are not added on purpose but are likely present due to manufacturing or packaging contamination of some kind in the supply chain.
