Food Standard Agency Publishes latest results Acrylamide and Furan Survey
April 18, 2013
The FSA has published interim results from its fifth and latest study looking at levels of acrylamide, furan and the process contaminants in a range of UK foods.

Based on samples taken from 300 products collected between November 2011 to December 2012, the survey gives a snapshot of the range of acrylamide and furan levels in UK retail foods.

The levels of acrylamide and furan reported do not increase concern about the risk to human health and the Agency has not changed its advice to consumers.

As with previous years, the survey results for acrylamide and furan will be sent to EFSA for collation, trend analysis and, in the case of furan, a risk assessment.

The results of the current 2012-2013 survey will be published in 2014. Where possible, it will include statistical trending analyses of all the UK survey data on acrylamide and furan levels collected by the Agency since 2007.
