Warning: the Cafe, the bim bim contains cancer-causing chemicals

Health authorities in Europe have long known the concerns about acrylamide and they ask EFSA defines the scale of the problem as well as the risk of chemical substances can cause. In the report the consultation has just been announced, the Agency warned: "EFSA has authenticated the reviews before that, based on animal studies, acrylamide in food is likely to increase the potential risk of developing cancer for consumers of all ages".

According to EFSA, coffee, fried potato products, biscuits, toast and certain foods for children are important food sources that contain acrylamide. The Agency proposed may need to set up the new legal control framework for the food industry to try to reduce the amount of chemicals that easily cause cancer in the products sold in restaurants and supermarkets.

EFSA said that the introduction of the new recommendations for the chef in the household, enabling them to cut the amount of acrylamide in the meals at home is also essential.

Food manufacturers in Britain are facing pressure to change cooking methods and their formula to reduce the amount of cancer-causing chemicals formed during the processing of the dish. Despite this, acrylamide still exists with the high content in some products, particularly food and fried/grilled/fried spin.

A study of last year's food standards Committee of the Uk (FSA) ever discovered acrylamide levels rise in the food of the big labels, from fried, FRY of KFFC to carbonated and potato chips, biscuits and even whole ginger powder to breakfast cereals.

Dr. Diane Benford, President of a Committee investigation of acrylamide, EFSA said: "Acrylamide goes into the body through the mouth to be absorbed from the gastro-intestinal system, distributed to all organs and metabolism. Glycidamide, one of the major metabolites from this process, is more likely to cause genetic mutations and tumor formation, observed in studies in animals ".

However, Dr. Benford stressed, the research on the harm of acrylamide for people to present only "provided limited evidence and contradict each other about the risk of developing cancer increases". His Benford proposed Committee needs to have a new study about the effects of acrylamide on humans, as well as the survey in order to give a more complete picture about the amount of chemicals that exist in food is cooking and eating at home.=
