A refined white-flour loaf dressed up with seeds. Fortified wheat flour is the #1 ingredient, not wholemeal, and it carries added sugar plus a dough conditioner across a 20+ ingredient list.

Why this verdict

• Refined fortified wheat flour is the #1 ingredient, not wholemeal
• Added sugar via invert sugar syrup
• Ascorbic acid dough conditioner (flour treatment agent)
• 20+ ingredients, classed NOVA 4 ultra-processed
• Seeds are real but a minor topping, not the base

Ingredients (18)

• Fortified wheat flour (moderate) — Refined white flour with added calcium, iron and B-vitamins; the dominant ingredient, so this is a refined-carb food that spikes blood sugar.
• Rye Flour (safe) — Whole-grain rye adds fibre and a lower glycaemic load than white flour.
• Sunflower Seeds (5%) (safe) — Real seeds with healthy fats, protein and fibre.
• Millet Seeds (4.5%) (safe) — Whole grain seed, adds fibre and minerals.
• Brown Linseed (4.5%) (safe) — Flaxseed, source of omega-3 and fibre.
