[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]US wheat processing adds niacin. To stop rickets and other things. EU does not. Many people have sensitivity to niacin. It seems like gluten issues but it's really just that. So they are ok with bread made from imported flour (that's not made explicitly for US market). [/quote]

"US bread isn't strictly "banned" in Europe, but it's often seen as different due to additives like potassium bromate, azodicarbonamide (ADA), and BHA/BHT, which are restricted or banned in the EU due to health concerns, leading to stricter ingredient lists and different processing methods, and the US uses a harsher pre-harvest drying agent (glyphosate) on wheat, creating a perception of less "clean" bread compared to Europe's focus on traditional methods and additives."[/quote]

Not sure what this post is quoting, but that is true for a lot of US wheat. It's sprayed with Roundup/ glyphosate at the end of its growing cycle.

My understanding is that organic wheat does not do this.

There are also different varieties of wheat in different parts of the US and in Europe. Same is true with predominant types of cows.

Op, what brands are you okay with in Europe? Do those exist as imports here? That might not give you a clear answer because domestic and export standards are often different. I also wonder if there's any chance the packaging is a problem, or even soon being like the plastic tubing used at the dairy.[/quote]

Sort of true. Sometimes wheat is sprayed with glyphosate after it's growing cycle, but it can't be harvest for seven days and it would be an atypical usage. [/quote]
