PFAS in the food & beverage industry: combined quantitative and qualitative report
Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), more commonly known as “forever chemicals”, have long been woven into the fibers of the food supply chain. With more scrutiny from consumers and regulatory agencies, the search for safer and more sustainable alternatives to PFAS in the industry is more pressing than ever. In partnership with RESEARCH STRATEGY GROUP, AIB conducted its own research into how organizations in the U.S. food and beverage industry are responding to the demands to reduce or eliminate PFAS from their products, especially food packaging.
