Who is this for?

Comparing options for a meal for two

You want to serve bread with dinner, so you’re comparing how much you get in a whole loaf, half a loaf or a pack of rolls.

Looking for wholemeal with a tiger crust

You’re specifically after a wholemeal loaf with a tiger crust and want to check the name and nutritional information of the option you choose.

Planning a smaller portion

You’re serving bread as a side and are considering two rolls, half a loaf or bake-at-home rolls to avoid having much left over.

What should you look for?

First decide how much bread you want to serve. Then check whether the exact option suits your wholemeal preference and any ingredient requirements.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this most relevant to?
Pack size Compare the net weight and check whether it’s a whole loaf, half a loaf or rolls. When I’m choosing between different pack sizes, I want to know how much bread I’ll get. For around 36% of consumers, being able to compare options is the top priority.
Wholemeal and fibre Look for the explicit ‘wholemeal’ description and, if you wish, compare the fibre per 100 g in the specific options. I want a tiger crust, but I mainly choose bread based on its wholemeal description and nutritional information. Around 29% of consumers give priority to the product’s ingredients and composition.
Avoiding leftovers Check the number of rolls or choose half a loaf; for bake-at-home bread, check the cooking instructions too. Bread is a side dish for us, so I don’t want much left over after dinner. Getting the portion size right matters most to around 21% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Check the current packaging for both the ingredients and any ‘contains’ or ‘may contain’ statements. If the person I’m eating with needs to avoid certain ingredients, I first need to know whether this option is suitable. This check is the top priority for around 14% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing a whole loaf without checking the weight

    Whole loaves, half loaves and rolls don’t all provide the same amount. A whole loaf may be more than you need if you’re serving it as a side.

    Check the net weight and decide in advance whether you want to keep any leftover bread.

  • Assuming a tiger crust means the bread is wholemeal

    The tiger crust alone doesn’t tell you whether the bread is white, brown or wholemeal.

    If wholemeal is important to you, look for ‘wholemeal’ in the product name or on the packaging.

  • Checking allergens only once you’re at the table

    The PLUS and Jumbo tiger breads reviewed list cereals containing gluten. Other allergens or possible traces vary by option.

    Ask in advance what the person you’re eating with needs to avoid, and check the current allergen information before buying.

  • Assuming every option contains iodised salt

    Albert Heijn lists iodised salt in AH Tijger tarwe-maïs heel, but that ingredient information doesn’t apply to every tiger bread.

    Check the ingredients list for the specific option if iodised salt is relevant to your choice.

Frequently asked questions

For two people, should I choose a whole tiger loaf or rolls?

Choose a smaller pack or rolls if the bread is just a side and you want to avoid leftovers. A whole loaf can also work if you want to freeze what’s left; check the storage instructions for the option you choose.

Is tiger bread always wholemeal?

No. ‘Tiger’ refers to the crust, not the type of flour used. If you want to serve wholemeal bread, choose an option that is explicitly described as wholemeal.

Which allergens should I check in tiger bread?

Check the current packaging for wheat and other cereals containing gluten, and read all statements about possible traces too. The PLUS and Jumbo options reviewed have different allergen statements, so don’t rely on the name ‘tiger bread’ alone.
