NSF Food for Thought Podcast: Chemicals of Concern
This series examines chemicals of concern in the food supply chain, including PFAS, and their impact on food safety, materials, and sustainability. Expert insights highlight risks, regulatory attention, and practical steps toward safer material choices.
Proof in the Product: Validating PFAS-Free Claims
PFAS—often called “forever chemicals”—are under increasing scrutiny for their health and environmental impacts. But how can manufacturers prove their products are truly PFAS-Free? In this episode of NSF Food for Thought, Jess Baker, Senior Scientist at ROCOL, joins NSF’s Sam Cole to discuss ROCOL’s journey as the very first company to achieve NSF’s PFAS-Free certification. Together, they explore what drove ROCOL to pursue certification, how it aligns with customer and regulatory expectations, and what this milestone means for the wider food industry.
