PFAS deliberately added during the manufacture of a product where the continued presence of PFAS is desired in the final product or one of the product's components to perform a specific function
Exemptions

Unavoidable use and waivers. A currently unavoidable use is a use the MPCA determines by rule to be essential for health, safety, or the functioning of society and for which alternatives are not reasonably available. The MPCA's CUU rulemaking (Revisor ID R-4837) is at the concept stage: a rule concepts webinar was held February 26, 2026, a feedback period ran in March 2026, and the MPCA schedule shows a proposed rule being prepared in 2027 with the notice of intent date to be determined. The Department of Agriculture makes CUU determinations for pesticides, fertilizers, plant and soil amendments, and liming materials.
Penalties. Enforced by the MPCA under Minn. Stat. 115.071 and 116.072 (administrative penalty orders and other remedies), in coordination with the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, and Health.

PFAS deliberately added during the manufacture of a product where the continued presence of PFAS is desired in the final product or one of the product's components to perform a specific function
Unavoidable use and waivers.
