Dear Guilhem de Seze,

I am writing as a follow-up to the exchange we started last year on PFAS pesticides (ref. letter from 25th July 2024) to share with you our latest report, ‘Message from the Bottle’, which reveals alarming levels of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in European wines. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive monitoring of TFA in food products and a precautionary regulatory approach that acknowledges the significant toxicological data gaps, different routes and sources of exposure and potential risks to public health, including children.
