Love this stuff, have ordered it several times. California puts warnings on everything. The California health warning on Maesri Masaman Curry Paste is likely due to the presence of acrylamide, a chemical that can form during high-temperature cooking processes and is considered potentially carcinogenic. Proposition 65 requires warnings for products that may expose consumers to chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Acrylamide is a naturally occurring chemical that forms in starchy foods during high-temperature cooking processes like frying, roasting, and baking. It's a by-product of the Maillard reaction, where amino acids and sugars react under high heat. While found in various foods, it's particularly common in potato products and roasted coffee.
