According to the latest report by the Centre of Science and Environment, bread based food products in India contain cancer causing elements banned by several countries. Amit Khurana, programme manager of CSE's food safety team explains how the centre identified these compounds and whether any action has been taken against the manufacturers adding potassium bromate or potassium iodate in their food products.
