Around 45% of shoppers put this check first. |
| Gluten and other allergens | Check the current packaging to see which allergens the bread contains and whether there’s a ‘may contain’ warning. | If I need to avoid certain grains or soya, the product name alone isn’t enough to assess the bread. For around 33% of shoppers, checking allergens is the top priority. |

Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘multigrain’ means ‘wholemeal seeded rye bread’
On its own, a multigrain label doesn’t tell you which seeds are included, whether there’s any rye or how much fibre the bread contains.
Check the ingredients list and nutrition information. To confirm a loaf is ‘wholemeal’, look for the description of the specific product rather than judging by the bread’s colour.
-
Relying on the product name for allergen information
Rye contains gluten, and bread may also contain other gluten-containing grains. Jumbo also states that Tarwe Roggebrood Mehrkorn may contain soya.
When buying, check the allergen information on the current packaging, including any ‘may contain’ warnings.
-
Assuming a store product will always be available
Albert Heijn describes Streeckgenoten Zonne rogge as a store product. This means availability at your branch is an important part of your choice.
Check with your branch and have an alternative in mind. A seeded multigrain loaf is only an alternative if rye bread specifically isn’t a must-have for you.
-
Assuming all rye bread contains iodised salt
Jumbo lists iodised salt in the ingredients for Tarwe Roggebrood Mehrkorn. That listing doesn’t tell you anything about the ingredients of another loaf.
If the type of salt used matters to you, check the ingredients list of the bread you’re buying.
