To protect consumers’ health, we need legally binding limits for acrylamide in food

01 June 2024

SAFE calls upon the European Commission and the European Parliament to
prioritise the safety of consumers, particularly infants and young children, as both institutions begin a new mandate. Achieving this can be done in multiple ways, as outlined by SAFE in its European elections manifesto,14 but one urgent priority relates to the establishment of stricter and lower maximum values regarding acrylamide in food.

We urge European policymakers to consider our recommendations and to take decisive action to mitigate the health risks associated with acrylamide exposure in food products. SAFE will continue to campaign for future EU legislation on acrylamide that seriously protects European consumers.
