The development of analytical methods for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food is essential for monitoring the global food supply and for assessments of dietary exposure. Dr. Susan Genualdi from the U.S. FDA will talk about the guidance document and regulation from the European Union in addressing this.
The AOAC PFAS Working Group, chaired by Dr. Genualdi, was established in 2023 to develop Standard Method Performance Requirements (SMPR) for analytical methods for PFAS in food and feed. The objectives of this working group were to identify required analytes and foods for PFAS analysis, establish required limits of quantification, and define analytical method parameters.
The audience will be hearing about the draft SMPR for analytical methods quantifying PFAS in Food and Feed. System suitability requirements, also part of the SMPR, will be discussed to overcome challenges with the analysis of PFAS.
