Recent headlines have highlighted PFAS detections in everyday foods such as meat\, fish\, eggs\, and even milk and yoghurt\, with several samples found to exceed permitted limits. But how do these substances enter the food chain\, and what does their growing presence mean for our microbiome and overall health? \nJoin the World Food System Center for a science-based dialogue that goes beyond the headlines to trace the journey of PFAS.
