[Problem] There is provided, in a process for producing acrylic acid having a catalytic gas-phase oxidation reaction step, a condensation step, a collection step, a distillation step, a crystallization step, an acrylic acid recovering step or the like, a production method for acrylic acid, in which contamination of acrylic acid with protoanemonin without providing any additional purification treatment to the resultant purified acrylic acid can be reduced. [Solution] The problems described above can be solved by providing the production method for acrylic acid comprising A) a step obtaining an acrylic acid-containing gas by a catalytic gas-phase oxidation reaction of gas containing a acrylic acid raw material; B) a step of obtaining the acrylic acid-containing solution by introducing the acrylic acid-containing gas to the collection column or the condensation column and performing collection or condensation; C) a step of obtaining the crude acrylic acid by introducing the acrylic acid-containing solution to
