Subway to remove bread chemical also found in yoga mats
Nearly 500 foods found on grocery store shelves in the United States, including many foods labeled as "healthy," contain a potentially hazardous industrial plastics chemical, according to a report issued Thursday by a health research and advocacy group. (Centers for Science in the Public Interest).
Azodicarbonamide, also known as ADA, was found as an ingredient in breads, bagels, tortillas, hamburger and hot dog buns, pizza, pastries, and other food products, according to a report by the Environmental Working Group, based in Washington.
One of the breakdown products, derived from the original substance is called urethane, a
recognized carcinogen.
Using axodicarbonamide at maximum allowable levels results in higher levels of urethane in bread “that pose a small risk to humans”… according to CSPI.
Besides bread, the chemical is also found in yoga mats and shoe soles to add elasticity.
Grocery store breads and restaurant breads also contain this chemical. Other major fast food chains have products with the ingredient too..including McDonald, Starbucks and Arby’s.
