Azodicarbonamide is a chemical used to make bread dough more elastic is also, incidentally, found in yoga mats.
It is not healthy. And in Europe it is not allowed.
Still, no burger crisis. No sudden change in taste. Just the same sandwiches, quietly made without it.
And a regulation quietly doing its job in the background while you ordered your dinner.
— Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008: Food additives. EU ban on azodicarbonamide. In force since 20 January 2009

@EUCommission Great job embracing the rhetoric of pseudoscience ...
@EUCommission @mhoye dihydrogen monoxide is commonly found in cleaning chemicals, and also in burger buns! Clearly we need to ban this.
@EUCommission Sodium bicarbonate is commonly found in fire extinguishers;
it also is baking powder
I'm not flexible enough to get down into that position.
Did I eat too many or not enough burger buns?
@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical used to create fruit juice from concentrate. It is also, incidentally, found in concrete.
It is, however, perfectly healthy, and does not need to be banned.
Stop scaring us with chemicals based on "it's also in (non-edible thing)", just tell us whether it's harmful!
@EUCommission This post looks LLM-generated, both the text and the image. Maybe hire someone who at least knows how to make the AI-generated text less obvious? This is not a good look for an EU institution.
@EUCommission this post has AI-slop written all over it. Disappointing to see so little effort from the EU commission.
@EUCommission I like this campaign 👍
no bun intended 
@EUCommission I believe 2009 is also the year McDonalds burger buns actually became edible.
