?Azodicarbonamide (CAS NO.123-77-3) is a respiratory sensitiser (a possible cause of asthma) and?it should be labeled with "May cause sensitisation by inhalation." Azodicarbonamide (CAS NO.123-77-3) may cause an allergic reaction in those sensitive to other azo compounds (such as food dyes). The consumption of azodicarbonamide may also heighten an allergic reaction to other ingredients in a food. Panera Bread uses Azodicarbonamide in their bagels. It should be noted that during the bread baking process azodicarbonamide is completely decomposed into gasses (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, and ammonia) and therefore is never eaten.
