Acrylamide
02/09/2026
Food processing can itself produce contaminants due to chemical reactions. One of these processing contaminants is Acrylamide which is formed at high temperature in starch rich foods such as potato crisps (chips). It is a potential carcinogen and, although maximum limits in foods are not legislated, monitoring is still routine in the industry.
Fapas test materials utilise real food samples to provide as close to true routine testing environments to provide useful comparisons between your proficiency tests and routine testing capabilities. This gives you the confidence to make key decisions with quality control and continuous improvement of your testing capabilities.
Potato crisps account for a vast amount of snacks consumed within western markets and a large proportion globally. As such effective testing practices are required to highlight any high levels of Acrylamide within these foodstuffs. This is required to safeguard product quality and protect consumers from potentially unsafe levels of this contaminant. Ineffective testing does have large financial implications, especially when instances of bias are apparent such as over-reporting contaminant levels. As such it is key to reduce these risks through effective quality assurance programmes.
Quality control is essential to building a successful business that delivers products that meet or exceed customers’ expectations. It also forms the basis of an efficient business that minimises waste and operates at high levels of productivity. Using our proficiency testing scheme will allow your laboratory to gain and maintain ISO/17025 accreditation. We have been an accredited provider for over 25 years with an extensive range of proficiency tests available all year round with rigorous statistical feedback and comprehensive reporting with method and trend comparisons reported over many years.
