FDA issues draft guidance for food industry for reducing acrylamide
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued draft guidance for the food industry to help growers, manufacturers and foodservice operators take steps to reduce levels of acrylamide in certain foods.
Efforts to reduce acrylamide levels are already underway in many sectors throughout the food industry. In issuing its draft guidance, the FDA seeks to help all companies, particularly smaller ones with fewer resources, reduce acrylamide in products susceptible to its formation.
