Since polyacrylamide may be used by the paper and board industry, the Agency has carried out research to determine whether any acrylamide is present in paper and board packaging materials for food, and whether any acrylamide passes in to food from this packaging. The main conclusion of this survey is that it is very unlikely that paper and board packaging is a source of acrylamide in food. There are EU-wide legal controls on acrylamide passing from plastics into food.
