#weareul Regulatory interest in the health and environmental impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, is escalating rapidly. PFAS are used in materials in contact with food, as these chemicals resist grease, water and heat. UL Solutions experts have prepared a handy guide to provide up-to-date answers to the retail industry’s frequently asked questions about PFAS. Check it out! #weareULSolutions https://bit.ly/3BuiC6R

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been making our lives easier and less messy, but at a substantial cost. These 'forever chemicals' can accumulate within the human body and the environment, with studies suggesting they pose a risk to public health. Unfortunately, PFAS are almost impossible to avoid. They are present in everyday products, ranging from fire-fighting foam, nonstick cookware, food packaging, and waterproof and stain-resistant clothing, to cleaning products, paints, and much more. The news that the European Union is restricting PFHxA, its salts and related substances from April 2026 onwards, is a significant milestone in the protection of our health and the environment from these forever chemicals.

Ensuring Safety and Quality in Juice Packaging Did you know that Tetra Pak cartons are washed with hydrogen peroxide (H²O²) before filling with juice? This crucial step ensures: Sanitization: H²O² effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi, guaranteeing a clean and safe packaging environment. Removal of residual flavors and odors: H²O² eliminates any lingering flavors or scents from previous fillings, ensuring a fresh start for your juice. Environmental benefits: H²O² is biodegradable and decomposes into water and oxygen, making it a more sustainable choice. Always prioritize safety and quality in every step of the packaging process. By washing Tetra Pak cartons with H²O², guarantee a clean and sanitized environment for juices. #TetraPak #JuicePackaging #SafetyFirst #QualityMatters #Sustainability #FoodSafety #PackagingMatters #HydrogenPeroxide #Sanitization #CleaningProcess

So important to understand the pervasive use of PFAS - https://lnkd.in/gB8meuD3 One common source of PFAS in food is microwave popcorn. Popcorn made in a pan with oil on the stove is the way to go! Takes a little longer but so much healthier and tastier!

Detect 'forever chemicals' in under 3 minutes New lab-based method to detect traces of PFAS from food packaging material, water and soil samples 12-Feb-2024 hIn tests, the team was able to detect PFAS in one minute or less by analyzing pieces of various food packaging materials directly, including instant noodle boxes (symbolic image). Computer-generated image PFAS have earned the name “forever chemicals” with good reason — the man-made compounds, which can take thousands of years to degrade and are found in everything fromttps://https://lnkd.in/egU7Vcdk

As more government agencies restrict the use of PFAS, consider using a PFAS-free PPA that is globally compliant for food contact. Two new Ampacet PFAS-Free PPAs are globally-compliant for food contact, and one is siloxane free. Like fluoro-based PPAs, they eliminate melt fracture, reduce die buildup for less downtime and promote faster throughput. https://lnkd.in/gSU68y4q #plasticsreimagined #PFAS-Free #PPA #packaging
