{'potassium bromate': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'permissible food additives': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'potassium iodate': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'food safety': [0, 0, 0, 5], 'neurotoxin': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'prepackaged breads': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'recent study': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'available brands': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'food': [18, 3, 8, 24]}

Option 1 states that a study conducted by the Centre for Science and Environment found that certain brands of prepackaged breads contained potassium bromate and potassium iodate. This statement suggests that the study revealed the presence of these additives in bread.

Option 2 states that the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India recommended to the Health Ministry to remove potassium bromate from the list of permissible food additives. This statement suggests that there was a recommendation to exclude potassium bromate as a food additive.

Option 3 states that the Union Government banned the use of potassium bromate as a food additive based on the recommendation mentioned in option 2. This statement implies that there was a ban on using potassium bromate in food products.

Option 4 states that potassium bromate is a neurotoxin. This statement suggests that this substance has the potential to harm the nervous system.

The correct answer, option 2, is not correct because it incorrectly states that the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India recommended removing potassium bromate from the list of permissible food additives. In reality, the ban on potassium bromate was based on the recommendation provided by the Centre for Science and Environment`s study.
