1. Current status CIAA / Academic Seminar Detlef Müller, Procter & Gamble

2. Acrylamide Intake Perspective I Definition of food categories –Terms (crisps, chips, fries,..) –Diversity of categories Market volumes per country –Association data on per capita production AA levels in a category –RTE products vs. Intermediates –Current values (e.g. German government data) Use of mean values –Huge variability in a category/brand means that use of high end AA levels is not justified

3. Acrylamide Intake Perspective II Mean population intake –Per capita availability and mean AA levels as basis Aggregate intake –Mean intakes for all categories are likely to be representative for overall intake –Nobody will be a high consumer for everything High users for categories –Can national food consumption data be used ? –Can mean + 2SD cover 95th Centile for most foods? –Is per capita x 10 useful? –Can industry data on consumer behaviour be shared/used?

4. Acrylamide Intake Perspective III Impact of reduction efforts –Reduction of AA in crisps by 40 % results in reduction of mean intake by 1 – 2 % –Contribution of home cooking > 50 % ? –Quality control in home cooking/catering FSA data on overcooked fries Reduction efforts by industry must continue, but will reduce overall risk by << 25 % long term Need to consider risk/benefit positioning of interventions

5. CIAA Workshop on AA I Purpose: –Discuss available data on formation and intervention based on lab research and industrial practice –Work in the toolbox context –Ensure brand related consumer acceptance of modified products –Ensure applicability of proposed interventions in existing plant designs –Encourage trial of options failing in category A in other food categories –Consider applicabilities outside industry

6. CIAA Workshop on AA II Results: –Refinement of „tool descriptions“ –Perspective on tool applicability –Produce „envelope document“ for tool descriptions –Reduce wasted resources from duplication of research or late availability of results

7. CIAA Workshop on AA III Participants: –Academia, government labs, industry –Limited number of regulators (and BEUC ??) as observers ? Timing: –Fall 2005 still manageable ?

8. CIAA Workshop on AA IV Programme outline (9 – 18 h) –Welcome by CIAA –Introducing the issue –AA formation pathways –Analytical aspects (industry aspects) –Industry mitigation efforts Toolbox w/ successes/failures –Academic mitigation research –Working groups on specific topics Plant breeding Raw material aspects Composition Process … –Report back & general discussions

9. CIAA Workshop on AA V Logistics aspects –Financial/secretariat support from CIAA –Location/timing –Partner organisations ? (BEUC, EuroCommerce, EMRA, …) –Selection of speakers, chairs, rapporteurs –Format for report, e.g. publication (?)
