Eating bread

Question

Question: I have been living in this country for about four years. Some people say that eating bread (“bread” — factory-made loaf) is not permissible, because pig fat and the like is put into it; and people of other religions tell, and so these Muslims say. Is it permissible or not?

Answer

So long as it has not been established that something impure and haram is mixed into it, using it is permissible.
