In the first chapter of our PFAS Testing eBook – “Is a Storm Brewing?” – we spoke with a range of experts to understand what the evolving PFAS landscape could mean for the food and beverage sector. The consensus was clear: as regulators weigh sweeping PFAS bans and consumer lawsuits multiply, dark clouds are gathering. “The PFAS problem is an incredible societal challenge,” said Michele Suman, Food Safety & Authenticity Senior Scientist-Research Manager at Barilla SpA. And as Sue Bullock, head of chemical compliance, stewardship, and sustainability at TSG Consulting, put it. “Companies that demonstrate understanding and control on PFAS will be better positioned to manage these pressures.”
In this second chapter, we turn to the next critical question: how can food manufacturers get a handle on the PFAS problem? Here, experts from Agilent explain how to establish and maintain a reliable PFAS testing workflow, examine common challenges, pitfalls, and hidden risks that can distort results or trigger costly missteps, and reveal the mindset needed for effective PFAS testing. We also present a roadmap to reliable results, showing how the complete Agilent workflow can underpin a future-proof PFAS testing strategy.
In short, consider this your guide to weathering the PFAS storm.
