Two batches of Marinai brand cooked and shelled clams have been recalled in Italy due to excess contamination by Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The clams were imported from Vietnam but PFAS contamination has also been found in clams farmed on the Adriatic coast. PFAS can cause health issues including liver damage, thyroid disease, obesity, fertility problems, and cancer. A study has found that the number of European fruit and vegetable products with PFAS pesticide residues has tripled in ten years.
