Maine wildlife officials are issuing an advisory asking residents not to consume wildlife that may be contaminated with PFAS.

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, along with the Maine CDC, have issued the “Do Not Eat” advisory for two areas in portions of Unity, Unity Township, Albion, and Freedom. The new areas are in addition to the existing advisory area in Fairfield and parts of Skowhegan.

The new advisory was based on testing of 54 deer and 55 turkeys in eastern Kennebec and western Waldo counties for the presence of PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” which pose health risks to humans.
