10. How Are Acrylamide Levels Regulated?

Acrylamide levels in drinking water are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Internationally, the World Health Organization has also drawn attention to the need for regulating and cleaning drinking water of acrylamide. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the amounts of the chemical in products that come in contact with edibles, but there are currently no regulations on the levels of acrylamide in food.
