Using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, fifteen bisphenols and halogenated phenols were simultaneously analyzed in tea for the first time in China. Response surface methodology was used to optimize sample preparation conditions based on QuEChERS. Finally, the limits of detection and the limits of quantification were 0.
