Bitesize Webinar: Acrylamide Testing for the UK and EU

Acrylamide is a substance that naturally forms during high-temperature cooking of certain foods such as baked goods, potato products, and even coffee. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has identified acrylamide as a carcinogen, meaning it has the potential to increase the risk of cancer in humans. In the UK and EU, regulations exist to protect consumers by controlling the amount of acrylamide present in foods in the European market. In this webinar, we’ll delve into the applicable regulations, testing, and how to reduce acrylamide formation.
