After Food Babe Vani Hari's call to action, Subway stores in USA is to remove the harmful chemical azodicarbonamide in their bread.
This is a synthetic chemical mixed into plastics to make them more pliable. Subway and many other bakers use it as a bleaching agent to make bread look nice, as well as a dough conditioner for faster bread production.
It could be in your burger buns, garlic bread, hot dog buns, muffin, and in many other retail bread.
We used organic flour to bake our own bread using Breville breadmaker.
However, owing to lack of time, we also patronize outlets ranging from Bengawan Solo, Cedele, Delifrance, Four Leaves and its franchise Peck bakery at Takashimaya, McDonalds, Subway, Sun Moulin at Isetan Scotts, to name a few.
They all taste good but how much azodicarbonamide does a typical bread lover consume here in Singapore?
