What did the Agency find?
It is very unlikely that this type of packaging is a source of acrylamide in food. This is despite the fact that there are several ways in which acrylamide might contaminate paper and board. Only one sample of packaging that hadn’t been in contact with food showed levels of acrylamide at 0.16 parts per million. The manufacturer has taken action so that acrylamide should no longer be detectable in their product.
