Potassium bromate aka bromated flour. Banned in Europe for years.
The proposed ban could affect bakeries, bagel shops and pizzerias across the Garden State
Cancer-linked chemical in pizza, bagel dough may be banned in N.J. Shop owners weigh in. mrf.lu/J0v6

It's why I have baked with King Arthur Flour for years. It's never bleached and never bromated. Laurie Colwin sounded the alarm for me on this in the 1990s in one of her Gourmet magazine essays. Sadly Colein and Gourmet are both gone.

The fresh scratch bagels have been quite a hit so we are baking more today. Poppy, Sesame, Everything, Raisin and Plain. Using high gluten bromated flour and liquid barley malt.
Huh.

Hi! American here. Regulatory agencies here are "well, they tried..." in comparison to many countries. They just recently got around to banning red food dye, most of the commercial sandwich bread is bromated, the list goes on...how much time ya' got?

Potassium bromated flour is getting phased out in NY state. This is genuinely good news. Don't use bromated flour. While we're on the subject, you can use bleach to clean up a homicide, not for baking!
This Popular Pizza Flour is Getting Banned - Scotts Pizza Tours
New York State just passed legislation to ban potassium bromate, an ingredient found in the favorite flour of NYC pizzerias.

I wouldn't worry too much, a lot of great pizza in NY/NJ already doesn't use bromated flour, it's the bagels that are going to get hit hard more than anything.

Bromated flour is cheaper; that’s it.
Why? Because bromating takes the place of aging the flour, which is what makes it more elastic.
New York Pizza is (IMO) crap. But it won’t be any crappier with aged, not bleached flour.
Bagels will sill be fine.
Because it’s the water; and the habits.
