Hand Finished Seeded Sourdough Bread — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Hand Finished Seeded Sourdough Bread by coop OKAY — score 62/90.
A genuinely clean bread for a supermarket loaf: real sourdough fermentation, a proper load of seeds, no added sugar and no emulsifiers or artificial additives. It just leans on refined white wheat flour instead of wholemeal, so it is solid rather than great.
Why this verdict
- Real sourdough fermentation and a meaningful seed mix (sunflower, linseed, millet, poppy, pumpkin)
- No added sugar, no emulsifiers, no artificial colours or flavours
- Main ingredient is refined white wheat flour, not wholemeal, so it is not a whole-grain loaf
- Fortification (calcium, iron, B vitamins) is added back because the refined flour lost its own
