Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 I believe it is stated on the label of Nature's Own bread that it is not bromated, which is the reason I buy that bread. But if your grocery store has a bakery, their stuff may be bromated. I shop at Ukrops and they have a fabulous bakery, but I noticed on their pizza dough label they use bromide as a conditioner.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 I started to read the labels too, Pepperridge Farms does not use bromine in it's products. I don't know if it's all their bread or just some types, so far what I bought does not contain bromine. Also I just read that Gatorade and Mountain Dew/soda also contain bromine. > > > > I have read many articles on the web and people writing about all > > bread is tainted with bromide, so I decided to find out for myself if > > they do.
