Fight against 3-MCPD

摘要

The presence of 3-monochloropro- pane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) in food is concerning due to the cancer-causing properties it demonstrates in animal feeding studies. As a result, regulatory authorities worldwide have taken the view that its presence should be reduced to the lowest levels that are technologically achievable. The FSA has now initiated a survey of retail foods to check the food industry's progress in achieving these aims.
