A recent study conducted by the Centre for Science and Environment revealed that 84% of bread and bakery products samples collected from Delhi contained residues of Potassium Bromate and Potassium Iodate. According to International Agency for Research on Cancer, Potassium Bromate has been declared as possibly carcinogenic to humans.
It has been banned from use in food products in the European Union, Canada, Nigeria, Brazil, South Korea, Peru and some other countries. It was banned in Sri Lanka in 2001 and in China in 2005. So, the next time you feel like gorging on your favorite bakes, be a little more cautious.
