Potassium bromate or bromated flour, printed on some bakery labels.

Matches personal ingredient preferences based on label evidence; not medical, allergy, or dietary safety advice

What the label is naming

Potassium bromate is a bakery additive. Labels may instead say bromated flour. E924 is the code family used for bromates. The catalog records the printed phrase and does not convert a news story about bans into a match. A loaf that does not print these words is not flagged.

Where it hides

A minority of packaged rolls and breads. Most sample-catalog breads do not use it, which is useful when you want a swap that simply lacks the phrase.
