July has been designated National Blueberry Month in the US since 1974, celebrating the benefits of this superfood. While enjoying summer fruits, remember to wash them under running water to remove most pesticides. According to the National Pesticide Information Center, although 'no washing method is 100% effective for removing all pesticide residues', cleaning fruits and vegetables before eating will help reduce pesticide levels. For the second year in a row, blueberries are 11th on EWG's 2024 Dirty Dozen produce list.

A growing body of scientific research suggests that adding vitamins, minerals, botanicals, or fatty acids to our diets can improve various aspects of health. However, there are concerns about the safety and effectiveness of some food supplements. This whitepaper explores the shortcomings in US and EU regulations and emphasises the crucial role of Proficiency Testing (PT) in ensuring rigorous and transparent testing programmes for reputable brands.

Plastic utensils, plastic bottles, plastic food wrap......Can you think of one single-use plastic you could live without? This July, join millions of people worldwide in embracing sustainable choices to combat plastic pollution. Many plastic containers used for food packaging have been found to contain "forever chemicals" PFAS, which can leach into the food and water we consume. Recently, the EU has made a significant move in environmental legislation. The EU Parliament approved a proposed law in an attempt to make food packaging safer and more sustainable. The new rules include mandating all packaging to be recyclable, banning some single-use plastics and prohibiting the use of PFAS in food packaging.

Are you planning to attend the North American Chemical Residue Workshop #NACRW2024 from July 14- 17? Don't miss the poster presentation by Dan Biggerstaff on PFAS Reference Material Optimization. With the EPA finalising legally enforceable Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) for multiple PFAS compounds in drinking water at low ng/L concentrations, it is crucial to understand how different PFAS analytes in reference materials react to solvents and surface interactions. The study explored parameters that could impact data integrity with the analytes in EPA Method 1633, UCMR 5 and EU DWD. You can also meet our team of experts at booths 21 and 22 to explore our high-quality products designed to meet all your PFAS testing needs. Visit https://okt.to/YusIo4 to learn more. We hope to see you there! #PFAStesting #ReferenceMaterials #PFASanalysis

The EU Drinking Water Directive establishes quality standards for a wide range of substances, organisms, and properties of water, aiming for safe and clean drinking water for consumers in the member states. It requires regular monitoring and testing of chemical parameters such as PFAS, pesticides, and heavy metals, as well as microbial contaminants such as E. coli. Check out our infographic to learn more about various parameters covered in the Directive and how we can support the analysis of water contaminants: https://okt.to/WjOpXq #DrinkingWater #infographic #PFAS #WaterQuality #WaterAnalysis
