Name: Baker Street Seeded Rye Bread
Brand: Baker Street

Munch or Dump rates Baker Street Seeded Rye Bread by Baker Street ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

Marketed as wholesome rye and sourdough, but refined wheat flour is the #1 ingredient, real rye is minor, and it carries two added sugar syrups plus a preservative, flour treatment agent and vague flavouring — a NOVA 4 loaf built to read clean.

Why this verdict

Refined wheat flour is the #1 ingredient — real rye is minor
Two added sugar sources: caramelised sugar syrup and invert sugar syrup
Additive stack: preservative, acidity regulator, flour treatment agent and vague 'flavouring'
NOVA 4 industrial bread despite clean, sourdough-forward marketing
17 ingredients with wheat gluten added on top of the flour

Ingredients (16)

wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour filler; contains gluten.
Water (safe) — Bulking agent that keeps this a low-fat spread; inert.
Sourdough (Rye Flour, Water) (safe) — Real fermented starter that improves digestibility and flavor without additives.
Mixed Seeds and Flakes (11%) (Linseeds, Barley Flakes, Sunflower Seeds, Oat Flakes) (safe) — Real seeds and flakes add fibre, healthy fats and protein — the best part of the loaf.
Wholemeal Rye Flour (safe) — Whole-grain rye brings fibre, but it sits low on the list.
Rye Flour (safe) — Whole-grain rye adds fibre and a lower glycaemic load than white flour.
yeast (safe) — Used in the breadcrumb; benign.
Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
Caramelised Sugar Syrup (Sugar, Water) (moderate) — Added sugar for colour and sweetness — one of two sweetener sources here.
Malted Barley Flour (safe) — Traditional flavour/enzyme source, contains gluten.
wheat gluten (moderate) — Added protein/structure; harmless for most but a problem for those avoiding gluten.
invert sugar syrup (concerning) — A third distinct added-sugar syrup
Acidity Regulator (Sodium Acetate) (moderate) — Processing aid used to control pH and extend shelf life.
Preservative (Sorbic Acid) (moderate) — Synthetic preservative that undercuts the 'clean packaging' marketing.
Flour Treatment Agent (Ascorbic Acid) (moderate) — Vitamin C used as a dough conditioner/oxidizer; a bakery processing aid, not something you'd find in traditional sourdough.
flavouring (moderate) — Undisclosed flavouring — no reason a genuine sourdough rye should need added flavour.
