A bleaching and oxidising agent occasionally used in flour treatment. It whitens flour and improves dough handling properties. Approved in very limited food applications, and only at low concentrations. Generally considered safe at permitted levels, though some countries restrict or ban its use due to concerns about residual reactive compounds.
