Acrylamide
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 including crispbread. It is a potential carcinogen and, although maximum limits in foods are not legislated, monitoring is still routine in the industry.
Crispbreads by definition are at a high risk of Acrylamide contamination. This is due to the cooking process required to manufacture crispbreads with their high starch content. With a global population continuing to increase, the consumption of crispbreads will continue to remain high. This can put increasing pressure on manufacturers to satisfy demand, leading to potential corner cutting.
To mitigate this risk effective testing programmes should be used. This requires robust quality control methods to maintain high quality testing ability over the long term.
To achieve this high quality testing ability effective quality control processes should be in place. Proficiency testing from Fapas is important to achieve flexible, high quality testing practices that can stand up to both regulator and customer scrutiny. Fapas proficiency tests make use of real food matrices, from which to highlight areas of improvement or bias within your test results and therefore testing practices. They are invaluable for safeguarding your accurate testing practices within an ever growing global supply chain.
