Azodicarbonamide is a chemical used to make bread dough more elastic is also, incidentally, found in yoga mats. It is not healthy. And in Europe it is not allowed. Still, no burger crisis. No sudden change in taste. Just the same sandwiches, quietly made without it. And a regulation quietly doing its job in the background while you ordered your dinner. — Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008: Food additives. EU ban on azodicarbonamide. In force since 20 January 2009

The filthy rich have zero empathy, zero morals. They'll do absolutely anything to increase profit. If puppy blood is shown to be addictive, they'll grind puppies all day long, until someone makes them stop.

@EUCommission @mhoye dihydrogen monoxide is commonly found in cleaning chemicals, and also in burger buns! Clearly we need to ban this.

@EUCommission I believe 2009 is also the year McDonalds burger buns actually became edible.

@EUCommission are you kidding me?
This is straight out of the Vani Hari (the 'food Babe') chemophobia playbook.
Chemicals have multiple uses. Their context, amount, compounds matter - this is scientifically illiterate and unhelpful MAGA-type nonsense.
