Case Study: PFAS - Chemicals forever in our global food and feed chain
The Challenge
As awareness of PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) grows, food producers and regulators face increasing pressure to monitor and manage contamination risks. With changing legislation and heightened consumer concern, businesses need accurate, science-led insights to stay compliant and protect both reputation and public health. As awareness grew and new legislation loomed, many in the food industry were left asking the same question: how can we detect and control PFAS before they become a bigger problem?
Our Approach
Fera’s experts combine advanced analytical testing with cross-sector collaboration to assess PFAS in soil, water, and food products. By identifying contamination levels and potential exposure pathways, we helped clients understand their risks and develop practical mitigation strategies.
The Result
Beyond detection, our insights helped clients take practical action. We identified exposure pathways, advised on mitigation strategies, and supported sustainability planning that balanced environmental responsibility with operational needs. The result? Clearer understanding, stronger trust, and real progress toward a safer food system.
