AG James Uthmeier launches investigation into bread additive

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced an investigation into commercial baking products containing potassium bromate, which has been linked to cancer in animal testing and is banned in many countries. The probe targets companies like General Mills and its Pillsbury subsidiary, with subpoenas to follow. Legislation to ban potassium bromate and other additives, co-sponsored by Rep. Lindsey Cross and Rep. Meg Weinberger, stalled in committee.
