Boxed Pasta

  Not for sale in: Australia and the EU Why? Has azodicarbonamide in it Boxed and packaged goods might make your life a lot easier if you don't know how to cook. You can get them with all of your other groceries and make them for dinner in just a few minutes. But even though they are easy to make, boxed pasta kits include azodicarbonamide, which is why they are banned in Australia and some European Union countries.  

Azodicarbonamide helps the pasta look better and the dough softer, but the truth is that this chemical is thought to be exceedingly harmful to human life.
