It seems to be at the level of multi-million-dollar litigation and not multi-billion-dollar litigation.
If you were concerned about french fries, there is hope: "Pre-treatment of potato slices by asparaginase prior to frying reduced the acrylamide contents in the processed chips up to 81% compared to untreated control."

"As a medication, L-asparaginase is used to treat acute lymphoblastic
leukemia (ALL).[3] It is given by injection into a vein, muscle, or under the
skin.[3] A pegylated version is also available.[5] In food manufacturing it
is used to decrease acrylamide.[4]
Common side effects when used by injection include allergic reactions,
pancreatitis, blood clotting problems, high blood sugar, kidney problems, and
liver dysfunction.[3] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby"
