Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2158 of 20 November 2017 establishing mitigation measures and benchmark levels for the reduction of the presence of acrylamide in food (Text with EEA relevance)
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
There are currently no known outstanding effects by UK legislation for Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2158, ANNEX III.
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
Wherever possible the trueness of analysis shall be estimated by including suitable certified reference materials in the analysis.
Parameter | Criterion |
---|---|
Applicability | Foods specified in this Regulation |
Specificity | Free from matrix or spectral interferences |
Field blanks | Less than Limit of Detection (LOD) |
Repeatability (RSDr) | 0,66 times RSDR as derived from (modified) Horwitz equation |
Reproducibility (RSDR) | as derived from (modified) Horwitz equation |
Recovery | 75-110 % |
Limit of Detection (LOD) | Three tenths of LOQ |
Limit of Quantification (LOQ) | For benchmark level < 125 μg/kg: ≤ two fifths of the benchmark level (however not required to be lower than 20 μg/kg) For benchmark level ≥ 125 μg/kg: ≤ 50 μg/kg |
If the analytical result, corrected for recovery but not taking into account the measurement uncertainty, indicates that a product has exceeded the benchmark level, or contains acrylamide at a level higher than anticipated (taking into account previous analyses, but lower than the benchmark level), then the FBOs shall carry out a review of the mitigation measures applied and shall take additional available mitigation measures to ensure that acrylamide level in the finished product is below the benchmark level. This must be demonstrated by the undertaking of a new representative sampling and analysis, after the introduction of the additional mitigation measures.
FBOs shall make the analytical results obtained from the analysis every year available on request to the competent authority together with descriptions of the products analysed. Details of mitigation measures taken to reduce levels of acrylamide below the benchmark level shall be provided for those products exceeding the benchmark level.

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
