Data on acrylamide levels in samples of potato crisps were
supplied by the European Snacks Association. All analyses
had been performed using procedures based on LC-MS/MS
(Roach et al. 2003), and all of the laboratories that conducted
the analyses had carried out validations on the methods used.
The methods were compatible with the Comité Européen de
Normalisation (European Committee for Standardisation)
standard method, which is due to be published under
Mandate M463 at the end of 2013 (https://www.cen.eu/cen/
Sectors/Sectors/Food/Documents/M_463.pdf).
