The way certain foods are cooked can cause carcinogens to form. E.g acrylamide in starchy food. Some foods also contain naturally carcinogenic compounds eg red meat
One other interesting way food can cause cancer is by parasites. There is a raw fish dish known as koi pla in thailand that is linked to the development of cholangiocarcinoma due to the presence of liver flukes in the fish
