食品中のアクリルアミドの低減技術に関する情報の募集について平素より安全な食品の安定供給にご尽力をいただきありがとうございます。
現在、国際食品規格を策定するコーデックス委員会において、2009 年に策定した「食品中のアクリルアミド低減に関する実施規範（CXC 67-2009）」の改訂に向けての検討がされており、低減技術に関する情報の収集のため、加盟国に対して、別添の回付文書により情報提供の要請がありました。
提供された情報、データは、我が国も参加する電子作業部会（議長国：インド、共同議長：サウジアラビア）において検討され、次回の食品汚染物質部会（来年６月）で議論される討議文書や改訂原案の作成のための基礎資料となります。
実施規範の対象となっている、ばれいしょ製品、穀類製品の原材料から最終製品の生産、加工、流通、製造等にかかわる食品事業者の皆様においては、食品中のアクリルアミド低減に有効な技術情報や実証データ等をお持ちの場合には、令和６年１０月８日（金）までに、連絡先に記載の農林水産省の担当者まで、ご一報くださいますようお願いします。ご提供を頂いた情報、データの内容を精査した上で、日本政府からの情報としてコーデックス委員会に提出させていただきます。
なお、現行の「食品中のアクリルアミド低減に関する実施規範（CXC 67-2009）」の日本語訳版は、以下の農林水産省のウェブサイトにて公開しておりますのでご参照ください。

SUBJECT

Request for data and information on risk management measures to prevent or reduce
acrylamide contamination in foods

DEADLINE

31 October 2024

BACKGROUND1.

The 17th Session of the Codex Committee on Contaminants in Foods (CCCF17, 2023) noted general support for
the revision of the Code of Practice for the Reduction of Acrylamide in Foods (CXC 67-2009)1 if supported byfurther work to assess the availability of additional or new mitigation measures which could be included in arevised discussion paper for consideration by CCCF18 (2024). The Committee, therefore, agreed to collectinformation on risk management measures to prevent or reduce acrylamide in foods.

2.

The data/information submitted in reply to this circular letter (CL)2 will be considered by the Electronic WorkingGroup (EWG), established by CCCF17, chaired by India, and co-chaired by Saudi Arabia, to develop the discussion
paper further to support the revision of the aforesaid Code of Practice (CoP) and, based on the data/information
submitted in reply to this CL, attach a proposed revised CoP for consideration by CCCF18.3

REQUEST FOR DATA AND INFORMATION ON RISK MANAGEMENT MEASURES TO PREVENT OR REDUCE ACRYLAMIDECONTAMINATION IN FOODS
3.

Codex members and observers are kindly invited to provide data and information on risk management measures
to prevent or reduce acrylamide contamination in foods along the food production/supply chain which are:



4.

To guide the submission of the requested risk management measures, the following points could be considered:




effective and readily available;
proven to be cost-effective;
applicable widely across regions; andapplicable at all scales of production (especially at medium, small, and micro businesses)

The optimal agricultural practices to prevent or reduce acrylamide formation in foods.
The optimal processing conditions to prevent or reduce acrylamide formation in foods.
The critical control points and associated mitigation measures along the food chain/supply that would assist in
preventing/reducing acrylamide in foods.
Any other relevant data/information that could further complement data and information on prevention or
reduction measures requested above.
