Is Stone-Buhr bread flour unbromated?
Have been trying to get an answer from Stone-Buhr but so far no response. Does anyone know if Stone-Buhr bread flour unbromated? The package says it's unbleached but I am not sure about bromate. Any help would be very appreciated!

If one of them is potassium bromate, then it is bromated.
Proving a negative will be more difficult. Since it is unbleached, it might not be bromated, either. If it contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C ), it is almost certainly not bromated.
Let us know what you hear.

No potassium bromate listed. Upon close examination of the label, I saw that the company is located in California (they used to be in WA). I guess that means no potassium bromate due to their Proposition 65.
Looking at their web page reveals the ingredients are, "Made from 100% hard red winter wheat," Their all purpose flour is "Hard Red Winter Wheat 100%".
It looks like their products aren't bromated, bleached or enriched.
Thanks, Mike! I really like their all purpose flour. One can even trace their particular bag of flour to the producer farm. My question was about their bread flour. I noticed recently it behaves different from what I was used to see when making sourdough breads. Hence my question. The difference could be explained by the fact that their bread flour is a blend.
