Abstract
PFAS – per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – are a family of human-made chemicals, often referred to as “forever chemicals,” and are found in a wide range of products used by the food supply industry. Because of their widespread use and their persistence in the environment, people and animals have the potential to be exposed to PFAS. As the FDA and EPA further develop and implement testing procedures to identify PFAS concentrations in animal products, producers should plan to comply, as necessary, with expanded testing.
Topics discussed by the panel will include:
- How livestock and other animals are exposed to PFAS and how it can get into our food supply
- “Do not eat” warnings
- PFAS in food packaging
- Legal implications – FDA and EPA regulatory action; pending and imminent litigation
