Acrylamide is formed during heating, such as frying, deep-frying, baking, grilling sugar- and starch-rich foods, and roasting coffee beans. It can cause cancer, as animal studies have shown. Therefore, since April 11, 2018, Regulation (EU) 2017/2158i has been in effect. Food entrepreneurs who produce items like French fries, chips, bread, or coffee must ensure that acrylamide levels remain below the guideline values established in the regulation.
