Fast food giant Subway says they're removing a chemical from their bread that's also used to make yoga mats, synthetic leather and sneaker soles. That's right: Yoga mats, synthetic leather and sneaker soles.
The chemical (Azodiacarbonamide) has been approved by U.S regulators as a food additive to improve elasticity in dough. And in yoga mats, synthetic leather and sneaker soles. The problem is Azodiacarbonamide is NOT approved as a food additive in many other parts of the world.
Subway is in the process of converting to a different dough conditioner.
Food for thought.
