Subway pressured to remove chemical from bread


Subway is pressured by a health activist into removing a chemical from their bread known to increase elasticity in yoga mats and shoe rubber, USA Today reports.

For years, Subway has been adding Azodiacrobamide to their doughto work as a dough conditioner, according to Vani Hari, who runs the site FoodBabe.com.

In a statement, Subway said that they are in the process of removing the chemical, even though it is USDA and FDA approved as an ingredient.

Azodiacrobamide has already been banned in the UK, Europe, and Australia. Hari warns people to refrain from eating Subway until the ingredient has been removed.
