The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has extended the period during which it will accept comments on acrylamide in food, as it considers issuing industry guidance.

The original comment period was due to close on November 24, but the agency has extended the deadline to January 25, 2010.

“The agency believes that this extension allows adequate time for interested persons to submit comments without significantly delaying action by the agency,” the Federal Register notice said.

Comments can be submitted via www.regulations.gov .
