Last Updated: 2026/04/05, According to the data provided by the Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, among the more than 100 samples monitored, the foods with more acrylamide content are potato fried food, cereal fried food and cereal baked food, and other foods, such as instant coffee and corn tea, also contain acrylamide.

The subsequent statement issued by Nestl é China also dodged the problem. Nestl é first accused the scientific and medical community of only noticing the presence of the compound in foods such as instant coffee. Acrylamide existed as early as when humans began to cook or heat food.

But Nestl é does not deny the fact that its products contain acrylamide in its instant coffee. So for your own health, it's better to drink less.
