3-MCPD (3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol or 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol) is an organic chemical compound with the formula HOCH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 Cl. It is a colorless liquid. The compound has attracted notoreity as the most common member of chemical food contaminants known as chloropropanols. [1] It is suspected to be carcinogenic in humans. [2]
Acceptable daily intake or ADI is a measure of the amount of a specific substance (originally applied for a food additive, later also for a residue of a veterinary drug or pesticide) in food or drinking water that can be ingested (orally) daily over a lifetime without an appreciable health risk.

2-MCPD (2-chloropropane-1,3-diol) is an organic chemical compound with the formula ClCH(CH 2 (OH)) 2. It is a colorless liquid. The compound has attracted notoreity as a food contaminant. Together with the 3-MCPD, it is one of two chloropropanols food contaminants. [1] It is suspected to be carcinogenic in humans. [2]
While many food contaminants have been known for decades, the formation and presence of certain chemicals in foods has been discovered relatively recently. These are the so-called emerging food contaminants like acrylamide, furan, benzene, perchlorate, perfluorooctanoic acid , 3-monochloropropane-1,3-diol (3-MCPD), 4-hydroxynonenal, and (4-HNE).
Food safety [ edit ] In 2000 to 2001, Britain's Food Standards Agency (FSA) identified various brands of Chinese and South-East Asian sauces, including Lee Kum Kee products, with suspected human carcinogens 3-MCPD and 1,3-dichloropropanol (1,3-DCP) contamination at levels hundreds of times higher than those deemed safe by the UK and European Union.
The FDA’s recent ban on Red Dye No. 3, set to take effect by 2027 for foods and 2028 for drugs, marks a significant step in addressing safety concerns over artificial food dyes in the U.S. food ...
Unlike food aHVP, this Japanese wheat aHVP is only very mildly hydrolyzed. [24] The unusual chemical condition makes GP19S more allergenic than pure gluten. [ 25 ] Newer regulations for cosmetic hydrolyzed wheat protein have been developed in response, requiring an average molecular mass of less than 3500 Da – about 35 residues long.
