Potassium Bromate Under Fire | Orlando News
Description
Florida’s Attorney General is launching a major investigation into potassium bromate — a common bread ingredient banned in dozens of countries but still legal in the U.S. This chemical, used to keep dough fluffy and bread fresh, is classified as a possible carcinogen and linked to cancer, kidney damage, and hearing loss. With subpoenas already sent to major food companies, the AG warns that overly long-lasting bread is a red flag. Doctors echo concerns about declining public health despite high healthcare spending, suggesting hidden ingredients like this could be part of the problem. No lawsuits yet, but this is just the start — the goal is to protect families, demand transparency, and hold food companies accountable for what’s on our plates.
