American bread has gone viral again after clips showed it being crushed and squeezed like a sponge, then bouncing right back into shape. The reason is a dough conditioner called azodicarbonamide, the same chemical used to make yoga mats, shoe soles, and foamed plastics.
The additive isn’t authorised as a food ingredient in the EU or UK, but is still allowed in some American breads. The FDA has said it will revisit its long standing approval of it.
