There is no bleach in white bread
The flour may be bleached, but not like your laundry ;p

So if the flour is bleached ?

[Mooria]

Salt is added to bread to make it white. - Flour is not as bleached as it used to be,

[yeastman]

There are unbleached and untreated flours and breads on the market. The public perception of white bread is that it has to have a white crumb. This led to the bleaching of flour. Most common used one used to be chlorine dioxide, it 's use limited by law and measured in parts per million. So it will not kill you. Modern mixing processes and dough moulding (shaping) technology means that you can achieve a whiter crumb from untreated flours.

Have recently converted to brown bread , I guess no bleach is better than trace elements .
But will still eat white ,now and then .
