Food chains that use shoe rubber in your food

Subway vowed last week to remove from its food a chemical that’s also used to make foam plastics like yoga mats and shoe soles. The substance, azodicarbonamide, is commonly used among fast-food chains as a dough conditioner because it makes bread more elastic. Subway’s promise to remove it comes after a food blogger’s petition went viral online and gathered more than 78,000 signatures in just a few days.

 

1. McDonald’s buns

McDonald’s uses it in its regular bun, bakery-style bun, Big Mac bun, sesame seed bun, bagel, and English muffin.
