Bahrain’s Health Ministry announced on Saturday that it seized a shipment of flour containing potassium bromide, which is believed to cause cancer.
The general supervisor for foods at the Bahraini Health Ministry, Faisal Dhaif, was quoted by the Bahrain Tribune as saying that “500kg of flour with the brand name ‘Robin Hood’ imported from the US has been seized.”
Dhaif said that the decision to seize the consignment was based on the ministerial order issued on January 31 to check the use of potassium bromide as a food additive – Albawaba.com
