As far as I know, acrylamide is not actually contained by raw ingredients like potatoes. Rather, it is a result of preparing the food. A German site says that simply cooking (or steaming) potatoes does not create any acrylamide, but deep-frying them does. Seems like a blanket warning for everything that has a lot of starch that could have unintended consequences. |
