Name: Kwality Brown Bread
Brand: Kwality

Munch or Dump rates Kwality Brown Bread by Kwality DUMP — score 17/90.

It's marketed as wholesome brown bread, but it's built on refined maida plus hydrogenated palm fat - the classic trans-fat source - and a stack of preservatives, emulsifiers and improvers.

Why this verdict

Hydrogenated vegetable (palm) fat - the main industrial source of trans fat, linked to raised LDL and heart disease
Refined wheat flour (maida) sits next to the atta, so it's far from pure whole grain
Added sugar plus a stack of preservative, emulsifier, acidity regulator and dough improvers
NOVA 4 ultra-processed - reads more like a bakery formulation than real bread

Ingredients (13)

Whole wheat flour (Atta) (safe) — Whole grain flour with fiber intact; the one genuinely good part, but it is only the #2 ingredient.
Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) (concerning) — Stripped white flour, no fiber, spikes blood sugar; the #1 ingredient
WHEAT BRAN (safe) — Pure fibre from the outer grain layer, good for digestion.
Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
wheat gluten (safe) — Naturally occurring in wheat, adds elasticity.
Malt Extract (moderate) — Barley-derived sweetener, also a source of gluten.
Hydrogenated Vegetable (Palm) Fat (harmful) — Partially hardened oil - the classic industrial trans-fat source, raises bad cholesterol and harms heart health.
Edible Vegetable (Palm) Oil (moderate) — Refined oil high in saturated fat.
Preservative (INS 282, Calcium Propionate) (moderate) — Mould inhibitor; signals a long-shelf-life processed product.
Acidity Regulator (INS 260, Acetic Acid) (moderate) — Processing aid for pH and shelf life.
Emulsifier (INS 481) (moderate) — Sodium stearoyl lactylate - a dough-softening emulsifier typical of ultra-processed bread.
Improvers (INS 1100, 170(1)) (moderate) — Amylase enzyme and calcium carbonate dough conditioners - industrial bakery additives.
Antioxidant INS 300 (ascorbic acid) (safe) — Vitamin C added to protect flavour and colour; minor positive.
