    Acrylamide has potential neurotoxicity, genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. Acrylamide can cause tumors in various organs. The International Agency for Research on Cancer lists acrylamide as a category 2 carcinogen, that is, possible human carcinogen, which is mainly based on the fact that acrylamide can be metabolized in animals and humans into its carcinogenic active metabolite, glycidyl amide.
