Carcinogens were detected in 59 kinds of coffee.
Recently, it was reported in the news that all 59 kinds of coffee have detected low levels of 2A carcinogen acrylamide. Acrylamide is a substance that may be harmful to human body. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer lists it as a class 2A carcinogen, that is, there is sufficient evidence to cause cancer in animals and insufficient evidence to cause cancer in humans. Here are some information I found:

1. The test results of coffee by Fujian Consumer Council showed that acrylamide was detected in all samples, the highest content was American black coffee with mocha coffee, and the lowest was Starbucks vanilla latte. The average content per cup is 4.67 micrograms.

2. Acrylamide is a substance that may be harmful to human body, but there is not enough evidence to prove that it is carcinogenic to human body.

3. Ruixing, Starbucks and other companies responded that their coffee meets the relevant national standards, but experts believe that this response is not reliable, because China has no restrictive or prohibitive regulations on acrylamide in coffee.

Experts advise consumers to drink coffee in moderation and choose appropriate varieties and methods to protect their health.

When buying coffee, consumers should pay attention to the label and description of the product, understand the composition and source of the product, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

Generally speaking, although the acrylamide content in coffee is low, we should pay attention to drinking it in moderation. Consumers should also pay attention to the labels and descriptions of products when buying coffee, and supervise the production and operation behavior of enterprises.
