Subway's Bread Has Same Chemicals As Yoga Mats

I notice Subway in Chiswick High is about to open, but are people aware their bread contains chemicals found in yoga mats? Here's the article http://guardianlv.com/2014/02/subway-bread-contains-chemical-found-in-yoga-mats/guardianlv.com/2014/02/subway-bread-contains-chemical..

Well if I run out of bread, I could always spread some marmite on my yoga mat.

A very poorly written article, based on another US Article - http://preventdisease.com/news/13/091013_This-Ingredient-Is-Found-In-Most-Cereals-Bread-and-Foamed-Plastics-and-Rubber-Too.shtmlRead the sources documented at the bottom of the article and you will find in the Concise International Chemical Assessment Document 16 Azodicarbonamide - "Azodicarbonamide has in the past been used in the United Kingdom and Eire (but not other European Union member states) as a flour improver in the bread-making industry, but this use is no longer permitted. It is not known how common this practice is worldwide. Azodicarbonamide is not used in other consumer products." It's also not permitted in plastics manufacture in the UK since 2005.A better subject would be - In the US Subway's Bread Has Same Chemicals As US made Yoga Mats.

"A better subject would be - In the US Subway's Bread Has Same Chemicals As US made Yoga Mats".Actually, I would say a better title would be "Some US-made Yoga Mats also use an ingredient also used in US Subway's Bread".  But that wouldn't generate nearly enough of a scare.I'm sure they both also contain traces of the killer compound Dihydrogen Monoxide.
