And a substantial amount of litigation and regulation related to this one in particular:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylamide
"Although researchers are still unsure of the precise mechanisms by which
acrylamide forms in foods,[24] many believe it is a byproduct of the Maillard
reaction. In fried or baked goods, acrylamide may be produced by the reaction
between asparagine and reducing sugars (fructose, glucose, etc.) or reactive
carbonyls at temperatures above 120 °C (248 °F)"
So clearly, anything that isn't boiled and is baked or fried in any way causes cancer in California at least.
It seems to be at the level of multi-million-dollar litigation and not multi-billion-dollar litigation.
If you were concerned about french fries, there is hope: "Pre-treatment of potato slices by asparaginase prior to frying reduced the acrylamide contents in the processed chips up to 81% compared to untreated control."
What the hell is asparaginase?
It seems to be a GRAS chemical produced from recombinant E. Coli, used in food manufacturing, because it's...better than acrylamide one assumes?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asparaginase
"As a medication, L-asparaginase is used to treat acute lymphoblastic
leukemia (ALL).[3] It is given by injection into a vein, muscle, or under the
skin.[3] A pegylated version is also available.[5] In food manufacturing it
is used to decrease acrylamide.[4]
Common side effects when used by injection include allergic reactions,
pancreatitis, blood clotting problems, high blood sugar, kidney problems, and
liver dysfunction.[3] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby"
