Neoformed products resulting from foodstuff processing
Certain substances are formed in foods during the industrial processes undergone by them (cooking in particular).
Acrylamide, for example, is a compound which forms in foods with a high starch content when they are cooked at temperatures above 120°C.
The Agency's work is intended to add to scientific knowledge about the toxicity of these compounds in order to assess consumer risk in more detail.
Several entities of the Agency work on these issues on different levels. The Fougères Laboratory conducts research on the toxicity of neoformed products. A thesis on the toxicity of acrylamide was conducted and presented in 2006.
