Abstract Fluorescence polarization (FP) assays play an important role in the detection of chemical contaminants in food and environmental due to a number of key advantages since last century. In recent decades, FP assays have achieved great progress thanks to developments in materials science and labelling techniques. This comprehensive review provides the state of art in methods design, recognition elements, fluorophores, multi-targeted analysis, practical applications with real samples, and the challenges of deploying FP assays for the detection of chemical contaminants. These new information and insightful commentary of the review will be critically important to the development and innovation of next-generation FP assays.
