Azodicarbonamide
Another ingredient that’s mostly found in bread, pasta mixes, baked goods, and most frozen meals is azodicarbonamide. In general, this chemical is used to boost the texture of white bread. Most fast-food companies use it. McDonald’s and Burger King are only two of them.
The problem is that azodicarbonamide has been linked to asthma and skin irritation. Just think about it… A chemical used in foam plastics shouldn’t belong in food items. And while most European countries, as well as Australia, banned this toxic chemical, the health organizations in our country think that azodicarbonamide has a safe status.
