AcryIamide is produced during thermal processing of food, first of all in potato and cereal products. It has been classified as „probably carcinogenic to human" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. In May 2007 the EU Commission Recommendation on monitoring of acrylamide levels in food was published. According to that recommendation in 2007, 2008 and 2009 Member States should control acrylamide levels in foodstuffs.
