Acrylamide is a chemical, often present in potato chips, classified as carcinogen and toxicant. Since potato chips is consumed widely in Montenegro, especially in young population, determination of acrylamide in potato chips is of high interest. In this study, acrylamide was monitored in 51 samples of chips sampled from Montenegrin market. Its concentration was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, LCMS. Moreover, carcinogenic health risk was assessed for the four population groups aged 10–14 years and 15–17years, 18–24 years and 25–44 years. The results have shown that quality of chips samples were in accordance with the EU directive (EU 2017/2158)) in 98% of tested samples i.e. the acrylamide content was below 750 μg/kg. Moreover, there is an acceptable low risk of acrylamide exposure for investigated population groups and the youngest population (10–11 years) was under the highest risk.
