Who is this a good choice for?

If you want seeds in your burger bun or sandwich

You’re looking for a white or light bread base with seeds for the texture of a burger, sandwich or toasted roll.

If you’re keeping an eye on fibre too

You want to choose a roll for your meal without assuming that multiseed bread is automatically wholemeal.

If you check ingredients in advance

Check the current packaging if ingredients or allergens are important to your choice. Albert Heijn notes that this product information can change.

What should you look for?

First choose the type and shape of bread that suits your fakeaway meal. Then compare the nutritional information and ingredients on the packaging.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Seeds on a white base Check whether the bread is described as white or light, and which seeds are listed. I want seeds in my burger or sandwich, but I’m looking for a white or light bread base. Around 40% of consumers prioritise this combination.
Fibre and type of grain Read the type of grain and compare fibre per 100 g. ‘Multiseed’ on its own doesn’t mean wholemeal. If fibre is my main priority, I want to know whether a different type of bread would be a better fit. This matters most to around 30% of consumers.
Shape and ingredients Choose between individual rolls, a whole loaf and a baguette; check the current ingredients and allergen information. I need the portions to suit my meal, and I want to check the ingredients before buying. This is a priority for around 30% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing ‘multiseed’ with ‘wholemeal’

    White bread with seeds doesn’t automatically become wholemeal. According to the Dutch Nutrition Centre, wholemeal bread is particularly rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals.

    If the type of grain is a deciding factor, look specifically for ‘wholemeal’ and compare the fibre per 100 g on the packaging.

  • Judging by the product title alone

    A name containing ‘multigrain’ doesn’t automatically mean the bread base is white. Ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information can also change, as Albert Heijn notes in its product information.

    When you buy, check the current packaging for the type of bread, ingredients, allergens and nutritional information.

  • Choosing a shape that doesn’t suit your meal

    Individual rolls, a whole loaf and a baguette each offer a different way to serve burgers, sandwiches or filled pieces of bread.

    Decide in advance how many individual portions you want to make and which shape will work with the filling.

Brands to consider

Albert Heijn

A good place to start if you’re looking for individual white multiseed rolls.

  • Albert Heijn lists an AH Meerzadenbroodje wit and an AH Petit stokbrood meerzaden.
  • Check the current packaging: Albert Heijn notes that ingredient, nutritional and allergen information can change.

Jumbo

An example of a whole white loaf with seeds for anyone who wants to make several filled slices.

  • Jumbo describes Boeren Licht Meerzaden as a whole white wheat loaf with seeds.
  • For this specific loaf, Jumbo lists 2,9 g of fibre and 1,02 g of salt per 100 g; these values don’t automatically apply to other breads.

PLUS

An option for comparing an individual white multiseed roll with a whole loaf.

  • PLUS lists a Rustiek meerzadenbroodje wit weighing 90 g per roll.
  • If ingredients or nutritional values are important to you, check the packaging of the roll you choose.

ALDI

An option if you’d like to look at a light multiseed loaf with a seed crust.

  • ALDI describes Bakkersgoud rustiek licht meerzaden as a partly sliced loaf with a seed crust.
  • Check the type of bread and nutritional information for each product; this loaf’s features don’t apply to the entire range.

Lidl

A place to explore different types of bread and baguette shapes separately.

  • Lidl lists white bread, multigrain bread and a stone-baked multigrain baguette separately.
  • Don’t assume that a multigrain baguette is also a white multiseed loaf; check the product name and ingredients.

Dirk

A good starting point for comparing white and multigrain breads in one range.

  • Dirk lists white bread and multigrain bread among its range.
  • Check that your chosen product really has a white or light base and the seeds you want.

A product for filled baguettes

A multigrain baguette can work well for a fakeaway meal with filled pieces of bread. If you specifically want white or light bread, check the bread base on the packaging.

Lekhaven Bakkerij Multigrain Rustic Baguette, 4 x 135 g

Frequently asked questions

Is white multiseed bread the same as wholemeal bread?

No. Seeds don’t automatically make white bread wholemeal. The Dutch Nutrition Centre recommends replacing white bread with wholemeal or brown bread as much as possible. Check the type of grain and compare the fibre per 100 g if these are important to your choice.

What size of bread is right for my fakeaway meal?

Individual rolls work well for separately filled portions, while a whole loaf is an option for making several sandwiches or slices of toast. For example, PLUS lists a white multiseed roll weighing 90 g each, while Jumbo describes Boeren Licht Meerzaden as a whole loaf. Choose the shape to suit what you want to serve.

Where can I check which seeds and allergens are included?

Read the current ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the bread you choose. Albert Heijn notes that online product information, including allergen information, can change.

Does baker’s salt tell me how much iodine a loaf contains?

No, it doesn’t tell you how much iodine is in the bread you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that iodine compounds may only be present in bread, bread substitutes and other bakery products through the addition of baker’s salt, which can contain no more than 65 mg of iodine per kg of salt. If this matters to your choice, ask the manufacturer about the specific product.
