Lorna De Leoz, Agilent Global Food Segment Director, addresses the growing concern surrounding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food supply. These “forever chemicals” accumulate in the environment and in people, and are associated with serious health risks including cancer and immune suppression. PFAS are notoriously difficult to detect and remove because they originate from multiple sources (water, soil, packaging) and encompass nearly 15,000 individual compounds. Because of their pervasive nature, laboratories must meet extremely low detection limits, meaning robust analytical testing is essential to managing exposure. Agilent is helping the industry address these challenges with simplified, scalable, end-to-end testing solutions, such as pass-through cleanup workflows and clean components, that reduce contamination risk and help laboratories stay ahead of regulatory demands.

In this podcast, Lorna De Leoz, Agilent Global Food Segment Director, highlights all things PFAS in food and beverage testing. From the emerging safety concerns from PFAS and how it has a major impact on our food supply to the importance of testing PFAS in food and inherent challenges. With global legislation rapidly changing, manufacturers face challenges on how to test and meet the requirements to maintain safe food. Listen now to learn about the current challenges and what the future landscape of PFAS in food, ingredient, and beverage testing may look like.
