Potassium Bromate

Potassium bromate is added to white flour, bread, pastries, and rolls to increase their volume. However, even trace amounts are carcinogenic to humans. The FDA has recommended that bakers reduce the use of bromated flour. Potassium bromate is supposed to cook out of bread while it’s baking, but this isn’t always the case.

Name brand bakeries like Pepperidge Farms and Pillsbury switched from using bromated flour, but it never hurts to double check.
