I cannot find a brand of pitabread that does not contain dairy or too many additives. There is practically nothing available around here, where I live and I find it very difficult to actually find safe products to eat or to cook with.
So far, for pitabread, all the brands I could find were: 'Old El Paso' (unsafe) and 'Our Compliments' (contained milk)
What brand do you use?

I buy Joseph's here in Maine, but it's nothing compared to the Sahara brand I used to buy when I lived in NY. Sigh.
I have to admit that I really don't care about additives, so the brands I use probably contain a lot of them, but I've never seen a pita bread that contains dairy. That's so weird. Maybe try the health food store?

I buy a kind available in Atlantic Canada (could be available other places too, not sure). It is called Fancy Lebanese Bread and is made in Halifax, NS.
Ingredients: Enriched white flour, water, salt, sugar, yeast and Calcium propionate.
Calcium propionate is used in bakery products as a mold inhibitor.

The Sahara brand Casey mentinoed I think MAY have milk, it DOES have alot of additives, I bought it once and and didn't care much for it, I think it is made by the same brand as Thomas English Muffins.
My pitas are FANTASTIC, but I can only get them at one grocery store (Pathmark), Domas or something is the brand...? They are only like fifty cents a pack.
BUT the reason I think they stock them there, along with other odd things like naan and LOTS and LOTS of hispanic and 'soul food' type things, is because that grocery store is located in a predominatly poor and multicultural town, when I go to the Acmes around the white middle class towns, it is harder to find that stuff. I have found that the next nearest chain of one grocery store from the next can vary ALOT in selection by the town it is in, and what people live in that area.
Makes sense, doesn't it? If there are Indian Markets or something by you you may also have more luck, if you think there aren't any look in your phone book, some of them are so tiny and hidden and family run and you might not know they are there!
Trader Joes has pita bread, but I never bought it or checked it out cause I get such a good deal already.
Its all about finding out what foods are best to get at what places... I frequent like five grocery stores (some more than others), cause no grocery store has EVERYTHIng that I need.
And it used to frustrate me when i was little when my Mom had to go to TWO grocery stores!
Good luck on your pita hunt!
