Potassium bromate is a bit of an oddity, in that the FDA discourages its use, and likely wouldn't approve it if it came up today. The EU regulator is, I think it's fair to say, considerably more aggressive in purging the lists of already-approved things.
Potassium Bromate is in 100s of US commonly consumer products. Are you suggesting that the FDA is purposefully poisoning the public? That would suggest extreme regulatory capture (which is not tough to believe)
