[Webinar] Symposium: Science Gaps for Risk Assessment of PFAS in Food

Symposium: Science Gaps for Risk Assessment of PFAS in Food, Session 1 -- Current Status of PFAS Methodology
Virtual, Webinar
June 23, 2020
10:00 am – 12:00 pm EST

Evidence suggesting that bioaccumulation of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) compounds may cause serious health conditions highlights the need for advancing knowledge on exposure routes from food and the associated health risks of PFAS. This ILSI North America symposium aims to inform risk assessment of PFAS in foods and ingredients. The symposium will address status and challenges of PFAS detection and analysis, exposure routes and toxicity mechanisms. The symposium aims to identify knowledge gaps in these areas that could translate into science projects. This symposium is sponsored by the ILSI North America Food and Chemical Safety and Food Packaging Safety committees.

Session 1: Current Status and Gaps in PFAS Analytical Methodology

Screening and Quantification Workflows for PFAS in Food Packaging: Keith Vorst, PhD, Director, Polymer and Food Protection Consortium, Iowa State University
Method Development and Investigation into Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in the US Food Supply: Susan Genualdi, PhD, Research Chemist, FDA, Center of Food Safety and Applied Nutrition
Developing International Consensus Performance Standards and Official Methods of Analysis for PFAS: Benefits and Challenges: Palmer Orlandi, PhD, Chief Science Officer, Association of Official Analytical Chemists
Challenges Associated with the Analysis of PFAS in Food and Food Contact Materials: Charles Neslund, Scientific Officer, Eurofins Lancaster Laboratory Environmental

This webinar is the first of a three-part series, supported by ILSI North America's Food and Chemical Safety and Food Packaging Safety Committees.
