I had the pleasure of working with Sue in collaboration with the Biotech Company I was working with at the time in the mid to late 90's. Her research along with my companies collaboration lead to many commercialized immunoassays for the detection of food allergens the first being the Peanut allergen. I am sorry to learn of her passing.

Sue Hefle was one of our most trusted and knowledgeable experts in the areas of food allergy, biotechnology and overall food safety issues. Most importantly, she was a friend. She will be sadly missed.
The entire IFIC family extends to the family and colleagues of Sue Hefle, our deepest sympathy and utmost respect.

Sue was a valued collegue, but more improtantly, one of my best friends. She always looked a life and work with a positive attitude, and her determination and spirit has and will continue to be an inspiration for hundreds of us around the world.

As one of Sue's former PhD students I am privileged and honored to have known her and to have been mentored by her.I recall the numerous times she stopped me in the halls of FDST and asked me about my research-she frequently had her suitcase(s) in tow! Sue was also very compassionate-she was one of the people who comforted me with love, care and understanding 7 years ago when I lost a baby.I'll never forget her being there for me.
Even after my graduation she'd email me to check on me;she emailed me as recently as a month and a half ago and as usual asked about ME and not once mentioned what she was going through. Her personal strength, courage and discipline is one of the many legacies she left us. As a scientist,we have lost someone who helped establish the paradigm in the diagnosis and understanding of food allergies.Her dedication to FAARP was admirable; the high standard, thoroughness and quality that she expected from us has enabled those trained by her to give our work our very best.She always wanted us to do superior work and to still continue it after we graduated.I will miss her as a mentor and friend.Sue-I'm going to miss your emails and your humor.I am eternally grateful to have had you in my life as a friend and a teacher.
I'll never forget you nor stop loving you.

The food safety community has lost a real star - Sue was dedicated to protecting the allergic consumer but was pragmatic in her approach, ensuring that science prevailed. She will be missed.

Sue was a great friend and colleague. I will personally miss her very much. I hope the family will take comfort in the fact that she made a lasting impact around the world on food safety and, thereby, in the lives of countless unnamed consumers as well as many colleagues and friends.
