RECOMMENDATIONS,COMMISSION,COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION,of 3 May 2007,on the monitoring of acrylamide levels in food,(notified under document number C(2007) 1873),(Text with EEA relevance),(2007/331/EC),THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European,Community, and in particular the second indent of Article,211 thereof,Whereas,(1) The Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain,of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted,on 19 April 2005 a statement on acrylamide in food in,which it endorsed the risk assessment on acrylamide in,food carried out by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert,Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) in February,2005. In that assessment JECFA concluded that the,margins of exposure for average and high consumers,were low for a compound that is genotoxic and carcinogenic,and that this may indicate a human health,concern. Therefore, appropriate efforts to reduce acrylamide,concentrations in foodstuffs should continue.,(2) The food industry and the Member States have investigated,pathways of formation of acrylamide. The food,industry has developed voluntary measures, such as the,so-called ‘toolbox’ (1) approach, which provides guidance,to help producers and processors identify ways to lower,acrylamide in their respective products. Extensive efforts,have already been undertaken since 2002 in order to,reduce the levels of acrylamide in processed foods.,(3) It is necessary to collect reliable data on acrylamide levels,in food over at least a three-year time span across the,Community in order to get a clear picture of the levels of,acrylamide in those foodstuffs that are known to contain,high acrylamide levels and/or contribute significantly to,the dietary intake of the whole population and of specific,vulnerable groups, such as infants and young children.,(4) It is important that these data are reported once a year to,EFSA who will ensure the compilation of these data into,a database.,(5) The analytical results will be evaluated in order to assess,the effectiveness of voluntary measures. The monitoring,programme provided for by this Recommendation may,be adapted at any time if this is appropriate in view of,the experiences gained,HEREBY RECOMMENDS:,1. That Member States perform annually in 2007, 2008 and,2009, in accordance with Annex 1 the monitoring of acrylamide,levels in the foodstuffs referred to in that Annex.,12.5.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 123/33,(1) The ‘toolbox’ contains 13 different parameters (‘tools’), grouped,together in four main categories (‘toolbox compartments’) that can,be used selectively by food producers in line with their particular,needs in order to lower acrylamide levels in their products. The four,compartments refer to agronomical factors, the food recipe,processing and final preparation.,2. That Member States provide by 1 June each year the monitoring,data of the previous year to EFSA with the information,and in the format as set out in Annex II for compilation,into one database.,3. That Member States, for the purpose of the monitoring,programme, follow the sampling procedures as laid down,in part B of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No,333/2007 of 28 March 2007 on the methods of sampling,and analysis for the official control of the levels of lead,cadmium, mercury, inorganic tin, 3-MCPD and benzo(a)-,pyrene in foodstuffs (1) in order to ensure that the samples,are representative for the sampled lot.,4. That Member States carry out the analysis of acrylamide in,accordance with the criteria laid down in points 1 and 2 of,Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European,Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official,controls to ensure the verification of compliance with feed,and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (2).,Done at Brussels, 3 May 2007.,For the Commission,Markos KYPRIANOU,Member of the Commission,L 123/34 EN Official Journal of the European Union 12.5.2007,(1) OJ L 88, 29.3.2007, p. 29.,(2) OJ L 165, 30.4.2004, p. 1; corrected version in OJ L 191,28.5.2004, p. 1. Regulation as amended by Council Regulation,(EC) No 1791/2006 (OJ L 363, 20.12.2006, p. 1).,ANNEX I,A. Sampling points and procedure:,1. The sampling of the products should be carried out at market level (e.g. at supermarkets, smaller shops, bakeries,French fries outlets and restaurants), where there is a good traceability, or at production sites. Products with origin in,one of the Member States should be sampled wherever possible (1).,2. Sampling and analysis should be carried out before the expiry date of the sample.,B. Products, sample numbers and frequ……
