"Colour is flavour" and I don't want bland food foisted on me by some bureaucrat who is doing it "for my own good".

As of 2014 it is still not clear whether dietary acrylamide consumption affects people's risk of developing cancer.

Experimental results that are based on feeding acrylamide to animals might not be applicable to humans.

Food industry workers exposed to twice the average level of acrylamide do not exhibit higher cancer rates

Quote:
Classified in Group 2A (probable carcinogens) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

This designation is applied when there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans as well as sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.

In some cases, an agent may be classified in this group when there is inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity in humans along with sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals and strong evidence that the carcinogenesis is mediated by a mechanism that also operates in humans.

Exceptionally, an agent may be classified in this group solely on the basis of limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans.
