Munch or Dump rates Slow-roast Tomato Sourdough by Co-op OKAY — score 60/90.

A mostly recognizable bread built on fortified wheat flour with real tomato and herbs, but it leans on a flour treatment agent, added starch and refined oils, so it's a solid everyday loaf rather than a clean whole-food one.

Why this verdict

Real semi-dried tomato and sun-dried tomato paste, not just flavoring
No added sugar, artificial colors, or artificial flavors
Built on refined fortified white flour, not whole grain
Uses a flour treatment agent, potato/rice starch, and two refined oils as processing aids

Ingredients (13)

Fortified Wheat Flour (Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin) (moderate) — Refined white flour with legally-mandated vitamins/minerals added back; digests fast and lacks the fiber of whole grain.
Water (safe) — Bulking agent that keeps this a low-fat spread; inert.
Semi-dried Tomato (7%) (safe) — Real tomato bringing lycopene and flavor; a genuine whole-food inclusion.
Sun-dried Tomato Paste (4%) (safe) — Concentrated real tomato with oil, salt and herbs; recognizable and minimally processed.
fermented wheat flour (moderate) — Pre-fermented flour used for flavor and as a sourdough proxy rather than a live starter culture.
Rye Flour (safe) — Whole-grain rye adds fibre and a lower glycaemic load than white flour.
Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
basil (safe) — A fresh herb, purely flavor with no downside.
potato starch (moderate) — Refined starch used for coating texture; adds refined carbs.
Sunflower Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil added for mouthfeel; contributes omega-6 and calories.
rice flour (moderate) — Refined starch binder.
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.
rapeseed oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil used to carry seasoning and add fat/calories.
