(SANTE) (SANTE); RE: Meeting request on EFSA's scientific opinion on PFOS and PFOA
Dear
Thank you for sending us these studies and the synopsis. This information has been shared with EFSA and they confirm that all the published studies, listed by 3M, had already been identified by EFSA:
Those published by the literature deadline of the first opinion were reviewed and are mentioned in the PFOS/PFOA opinion (i.e Butenhoff et al 2012; Verner et al 2015, Wu et al 2015 and Ruark et al 2017). For the current opinion under development on other perfluoroalkylated substances, the other published studies from the list will be reviewed (i.e Chang et al 2017, Convertino et al 2018, Ngueta et al 2017 and Olsen et al 2017).
The conclusions of the PFOS/ PFOA opinion will be reviewed in parallel with the finalisation of the EFSA scientific opinion on the risks to human health related to the presence in food of perfluoroalkylated substances other than PFOS and PFOA.
At this stage EFSA considers that a meeting with 3M would not be required, but it could be something that EFSA would consider in the future.
Kind regards

Dear
,
Per your request and our discussion, attached in this email please find:
1) One pdf file titled "Synopsis 3M Legacy PFAS Health Science Research 18Jan2019.pdf" 2) One zip file titled "supporting files", these are technical publications that are referenced
in the synopsis
Our toxicologist,
, and our epidemiologist,
prepared this brief
synopsis on the topic of PFOA, PFOS, and serum lipid. We think it might be useful to share these
documents with EFSA for their ongoing risk assessment work on PFAS and, in particular, as part
-- ofa possible review of EFSA's preliminaryscientificopinion on PFOA and PFOS that you mention
