Lithuanian Rye Bread — OKAY

Name: Lithuanian Rye Bread
Brand: Today's Temptations

Munch or Dump rates Lithuanian Rye Bread by Today's Temptations OKAY — score 60/90.

A traditional rye bread with a short, recognizable ingredient list, but refined wheat flour plus two added sweeteners (molasses and sugar) keep it from being a clean MUNCH.

Why this verdict

Short, recognizable ingredient list with no artificial additives or preservatives
Rye flour and caraway give real fiber and flavor
Contains refined wheat flour in addition to rye, not 100% whole grain
Two added sweeteners (molasses and sugar) bump up the sugar load
Processed bread (NOVA 3), fine in moderation but not a health food

Ingredients (10)

Rye Flour (safe) — Adds some flavor and a little fiber, but it's a minor ingredient here, not the backbone.
Water (safe) — Inert; just adjusts texture.
wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour for the wafer shell — refined carbohydrate with little fiber. Also a gluten source.
Malt (moderate) — An added sweetener that contributes to the overall sugar load.
molasses (moderate) — Another form of sugar, used for color and flavor; trace minerals don't offset that.
Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
ONION) (safe) — Dried real onion, a whole-food flavor base.
yeast (safe) — Normal leavening agent; harmless.
Caraway seeds (safe) — Traditional whole spice; flavor plus trace fiber and antioxidants.
Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
