Acrylamide is a chemical that is formed during the high-temperature cooking of certain starchy foods. Frying, baking, and roasting tends to cause high amounts of acrylamide while boiling or steaming only produces a small amount. Common foods that are known to produce high amounts of acrylamide include potato products, grain products, coffee, and roasted nuts. French fries, potato chips, hash browns, bread, toast, cereal, fried rice, cookies, baked flour products, roasted almonds, and coffee beans are a few examples of high-acrylamide foods.
