Facts

New dietary recommendation due to PFAS in fish:

Analysis results show increased concentration of PFOS in fish from lake Trummen, Växjösjön and Södra and Norra Bergundasjön and the levels exceed the EU's health-based guideline limits. This means that those who eat a lot of fish from the lakes risk consuming too much of this and similar substances, the so-called PFAS, in the long run. Ingesting a lot of PFAS for a long time can be harmful to your health. According to Växjö municipality's dietary recommendation, one should therefore not eat fish from these lakes more than one (1) to three (3) times per year. The advice applies to everyone, both children and adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women. This applies until further notice.
