ArticleThe Compliance Imperative: How Electrochemical Testing Is Transforming Water Quality Monitoring in Food and Beverage Production
Tightening regulatory demands are pushing food and beverage operators to treat water quality monitoring as a core compliance function, with auditable, traceable records now an operational necessity rather than a best practice. Electrochemical testing — and Palintest’s Kemio platform in particular — is meeting this need by delivering consistent results across challenging sample types and automatically logging every test against operator, location, and time.
ArticleThe forever challenge: how the food industry must rise to meet PFAS
Thousands of compounds, a compliance environment that shifts at both federal and state level, and exposure routes that begin long before food reaches a factory gate, PFAS were always going to be a difficult problem. What is becoming clearer is just how long the food industry will be living with them – and how much the science of detecting them will have to keep pace.
