Risk Assessment of Dietary Exposure to Acrylamide in the Norwegian Population

The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (VKM) assesses the health risk of acrylamide—a probable carcinogen found in heat-treated foods like fried potatoes and coffee. Findings indicate that Norwegian infants and toddlers have higher exposure due to consumption patterns, and adults show comparable exposure levels to other Europeans. Recommendations include monitoring acrylamide sources and providing dietary guidance to mitigate risk. source: canva
