If that food has been shown to be carcinogenic in animals as acrylamide has, then there would be some suspicion that it might be carcinogenic in humans. When it comes to chemical safety, you work on guilty until proven innocent.
I used to use acrylamide in the lab years ago and we were gloved and masked up due to potential carcinogenicity and the fact that it is a cumulative neurotoxin. It's nasty stuff.
