Glyphosate usage on farms and detected levels in food are causing concern, but not with some farming lobby groups.

Food and beverage product contamination can happen in a couple of ways. Organisms in the product itself can be spread by equipment that hasn’t been cleaned properly, while employees can also transfer germs to product. For this reason, it’s essential for processing to occur in a wash-down environment.

Eriez has released two new, stronger plate magnets in its extensive line of magnetic separation equipment. The new models incorporate an improved magnetic circuit design, making these high-performance magnets even stronger than Eriez’ previous industry-leading rare earth models as well as all competitors’ offerings. 

Two well-known uses are in the making of non-stick frying/cooking pans and the foam used in fighting primarily aircraft fires (or other petroleum-based fires), hence PFAS subsurface ground contamination tends to be prevalent around military air bases where foam firefighting has been taught and practiced.

We all know that too much cadmium (Cd) in our bodies is just as dangerous as lead. Both are heavy metals, and while specific limits have been put on lead exposure (both in the air and orally), cadmium isn’t quite as well documented—at least in the U.S. The EPA places maximum allowable levels of cadmium in our drinking water as 5 parts per billion (ppb) with a goal of 0 ppb, but FDA has not set limits on safe levels of cadmium in food except to say that toddlers and infants should have no exposure at all.
