Who are these options for?

Wholemeal eater in a small household

Half a wholemeal tiger loaf may be a good fit if a whole loaf is more than you need. Compare the fibre per 100 g and consider whether you’ll use the amount you choose in time.

Online shopper looking for sliced bread

If you want to use the loaf straight away for sandwiches, check the slicing options for the exact variant. ‘Half’ tells you nothing about the thickness of the slices.

White tiger bread fan

If you mainly prefer white bread with a tiger crust, compare the nutritional information too. The listed fibre content differs between the white and wholemeal variants reviewed, including those from Jumbo.

What should you look for when ordering?

Decide which type and quantity of bread you want, then check the slicing options, storage information and delivery availability for the exact variant.

What to consider What to check before buying Who is this most important for?
Type of bread and fibre Look for the word ‘wholemeal’ if you want wholemeal bread, and compare the fibre per 100 g. For everyday bread, I want to know whether I’m ordering white or wholemeal and how much fibre the variant contains; around 40% of consumers put this choice first.
Slicing options Check the exact variant for a slicing option and a clearly stated slice thickness. ‘Half’ describes the quantity, not the slices. If you want to make sandwiches straight away, you won’t want to slice the loaf yourself. Around 30% of consumers give ready-sliced bread top priority.
Quantity and storage Compare a half loaf with a whole one, and read the storage instructions if you want to freeze portions. In a small household, I don’t want to order more bread than I can use; around 30% of consumers prioritise a suitable quantity and storage.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a tiger crust means wholemeal bread

    ‘Tiger’ describes the crust, not the type of bread. Jumbo lists 2,3 g of fibre per 100 g for its white farmhouse tiger bread and 7,3 g per 100 g for its half wholemeal variant.

    Check the product description and ingredients for the variant you want to order, and compare nutritional values on the same basis: per 100 g.

  • Confusing half a loaf with medium-sliced bread

    A half pack tells you how much bread there is. It doesn’t tell you whether the loaf is pre-sliced or how thick the slices are.

    If you want to make sandwiches without slicing the loaf yourself, only choose a variant when the product page or slicing option confirms the slicing style you want.

  • Guessing allergens from the name of the bread

    The name ‘tiger bread’ doesn’t provide the full ingredients and allergen information. The variants reviewed contain wheat and gluten; any additional allergen information varies by product.

    For every order, read the latest allergen information for the exact variant and check the packaging when it arrives.
