Test Description
Detect acrylamide in food products with our sensitive acrylamide testing service, designed for products that undergo high-temperature cooking such as frying, baking, or roasting. Acrylamide forms naturally during cooking in carbohydrate-rich foods, particularly where browning occurs. This test is ideal for products such as crisps, baked goods, and roasted items, helping you monitor levels and support product quality. Using an accredited method, we provide reliable detection at low levels to support your testing needs.
