In July of 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration released the results of its latest research on the acrylamide content of common foods.
The top 20 foods by average acrylamide intake by the U.S. population are as follows:
Acrylamide tends to form when foods that are high in carbohydrates and/or an amino acid called asparagine are cooked at high temperatures. Cooking methods that tend to require high temperatures - like frying, roasting, and baking - are more likely to cause acrylamide formation in food. Non-cooked and boiled foods almost never contain detectable levels of acrylamide.
The top two food groups listed above - French fries and potato chips - are two of the most damaging foods to human health. Despite the creation of "healthy" varieties of French fries and potato chips like New York Fries - Fried in 100% Non-Hydrogenated Sunflower Oil and Trader Joe's Veggie Chips Potato Snacks, it's important to know that all French fries and potato chips that have been deep-fried in oil are heavily laced with acrylamide and pose a significant threat to one's health.
What follows is the most recent survey data on acrylamide in food by the U.S. FDA.

Food Labels: Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup
(Warning: May Cause Laughter....or Weeping...or Both)
By Bill Holland
The Facts and Only the Facts
Well, the first fact is that I love Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup. Ever since I was a young kid, I have eaten this soup when I did not feel well. This was the go-to medication for the flu and a bad cold, and it still is today. This is a part of Americana, one of our priceless treasures, and is woven into the very fabric of our society. This is home, mom, and apple pie all rolled into one package and awaiting us all.
Who hasn’t eaten this gift of the gods? Anybody out there? No chance, we have all eaten this at one time in our lives, right? Right! This is one of the items you want in a bomb shelter; it will always provide comfort no matter how bad things seem to be.
However…….
Reading the Label
We are told that a serving size is ½ cup of condensed soup, which will serve 2.5 people, and that there are 60 calories per serving or which 20 are fat calories. Okay, so far so good…..kind of!
This can before me has 2 grams of total fat, 0.5 g of saturated fat, and 0.5 g of monounsaturated fat. What the hell is monounsaturated fat? That’s a seven syllable word; I don’t want no seven syllable words in my stomach and that’s for damn sure. The most syllables I want in my stomach are three…Velveeta!
There are 890 mg of sodium (it appears everything we buy has sodium), 50 mg of potassium, 8 g of total carbohydrates, 1 g of fiber, 1 g of sugars, and 3 g of protein. It also has 4% Vitamin A, 2% Iron, and no Vitamin C or Calcium.
The label also has some handy information in that it tells us that metal edges are sharp, so be careful when opening the can. I’m wondering what idiot out there is not aware that metal edges are sharp. Do we really need to warn people that they can cut themselves on metal edges? Well yes, in today’s society where you can sue anyone, I imagine this warning makes a certain amount of sense.
Delicious!
