Who might be interested in this bread?

Fans of a white bread base

You want white bread with your meal, but are looking for seeds to add some bite. Check whether the product description specifically mentions a white bread base with seeds: a multigrain name alone doesn’t tell you that.

People comparing nutritional information

You want to know whether the grain base and fibre content suit your needs. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, wholemeal bread is a separate choice; adding seeds to white bread doesn’t automatically make it wholemeal.

Shoppers checking allergens

You need to know which allergens are in the bread you choose before buying it. The multiseed products described by Jumbo and PLUS list, among other things, wheat and sesame; other ingredients and warnings vary by product.

What should you look for when choosing?

Before your Asian-themed evening, decide whether you want to serve slices, individual rolls or pieces to share. For each shape, compare the bread base, nutritional information and allergens of the specific product.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
White base and seeds Read the product description and ingredients list to check the bread base and types of seeds. Choose a whole loaf, roll or baguette that suits the way you plan to serve it. I want white bread with my meal, with seeds for extra bite; around 40% of consumers give this combination top priority.
Grain base and fibre Check whether the bread is white or wholemeal, and compare the fibre content on the same basis, for example per 100 g. If fibre matters more to me than a white bread base, I want to be able to compare the nutritional information; around 30% of consumers put this first.
Ingredients and allergens Check the current ingredients and allergen information, including wheat and sesame, and read any warnings about the possible presence of other allergens. If allergens or specific ingredients matter for my meal, I want to read the label beforehand; roughly 30% of consumers check this before considering other preferences.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing multiseed with wholemeal

    A white bread base can contain seeds. So the term multiseed doesn’t mean the bread is wholemeal.

    If the grain base matters to you, check the product description, ingredients list and fibre content per 100 g.

  • Checking allergens only after buying

    The multiseed products described by Jumbo and PLUS list wheat and sesame. Other relevant allergens vary from one loaf to another.

    Check the current packaging before you buy. If the bread is sold unpackaged, ask for the allergen information.

  • Choosing a bread shape that doesn’t suit the way you’re serving it

    A whole loaf to slice, an individual roll and a baguette to share each call for a different way of serving.

    Decide how you want to serve the bread, then look for a seeded white option in that shape.

  • Assuming online product information is definitive

    Albert Heijn notes that product ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information can change.

    Use the current packaging for a final check, especially when ingredients or allergens are key to your choice.

Frequently asked questions

Is seeded white bread also wholemeal bread?

No, adding seeds doesn’t make a white bread base wholemeal. For example, PLUS describes its Rustiek meerzadenbroodje wit as white wheat-and-rye bread with roasted seeds. Check the product description and compare the fibre content per 100 g if that matters to your choice.

Which allergens should I check in white multiseed bread?

For each loaf, check the current information about cereals containing gluten and sesame, as well as any other allergens and warnings relevant to you. Jumbo lists wheat, soya and sesame in Boeren Licht Meerzaden; the information may differ for another product. If the bread is sold unpackaged, ask for the allergen information.

Does ‘baker’s salt’ in the ingredients list mean the salt is iodised?

Yes, the Commodities Act Decree defines baker’s salt as iodised table salt for bread and other bakery products. Still, check the ingredients list on the bread you choose to see whether it actually contains baker’s salt; the products described by Jumbo and PLUS list it.
