Dec. 10 - PFAS in food manufact uring | Nestlé USA taps new CEO

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

The U.S. manufacturing industry is at an inflection point when it comes to the use of PFAS. Once a ubiquitous component in a myriad of products ranging from pizza boxes to firefighting foam, forever chemicals have come under fire from both consumers and regulators for their potential negative health and environmental impacts.

Finding and getting rid of PFAS, however, remains a challenge, one that could help define the next era of U.S. manufacturing. We’re diving into this issue in our new three-part series, “The future of PFAS in U.S. manufacturing.”

This in-depth series explores how manufacturers are working to develop safer alternatives to PFAS, the obstacles in doing so and how companies can audit their own supply chains for the presence of forever chemicals.

Read our first installment, “Are you eating PFAS? The fight to better regulate forever chemicals in food manufacturing,” and check back this week for the rest of the series.
