Who is this choice relevant to?

Fibre-conscious lunch planners

You’re looking for tiger bread for an office lunch and want to check that it’s labelled wholemeal and compare the fibre per 100 g, rather than judging by its colour or crust.

Planners for small lunch groups

You want to match the amount of bread to the number of people eating. The 400 g half loaf of PLUS Korenlanders Boeren tijger volkoren gives you a specific size to compare.

Planners with freezer space

You’re considering a whole loaf for several lunches and want to know whether you can freeze any leftover slices on the day you buy it.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start by checking that it’s clearly labelled wholemeal, then choose a loaf size and storage instructions that suit your lunch plans.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Wholemeal and fibre Check that it’s labelled wholemeal and compare the fibre per 100 g in the latest nutritional information. If fibre is my top priority when choosing lunch, I don’t want to rely on the tiger crust alone. For around 50% of consumers, an explicit wholemeal label would be the first priority.
Loaf size Compare the stated weight and whether it’s a whole or half loaf with the number of sandwiches you’re planning to make. For a small lunch group, I want to bring enough bread without having lots of slices left over; around 30% of consumers would focus mainly on choosing the right size.
Storage and allergens Read the freezing instructions and check the latest ingredients and allergen information for the bread you choose. When I buy in advance, I want to be able to store any leftovers and know what I’m serving the group. Storage would be the main buying priority for around 20% of consumers.

Which mistakes can you avoid?

  • Assuming a tiger crust means the bread is wholemeal

    PLUS offers both white and wholemeal tiger bread. According to PLUS product information, the wholemeal loaves reviewed contain 6.4 g of fibre per 100 g, while the white variety reviewed contains 2.2 g per 100 g. This comparison applies to these products, not all tiger bread.

    Check the product name and nutritional information for the variety you’re buying.

  • Buying a whole loaf without a plan for the leftovers

    If only a few colleagues are joining you, you may have slices left over. For the wholemeal varieties reviewed, PLUS says you can freeze them at home on the day you buy them and use them within one month.

    Choose a loaf size to suit the number of people eating and check the storage instructions before freezing any leftovers.

  • Relying on allergen information you read before

    Ingredients and allergen information can change. The half-size wholemeal variety from PLUS that was reviewed lists wheat and barley as cereals containing gluten, and also notes the possible presence of other allergens.

    Check the current packaging before lunch, especially if you need to take account of any diners’ allergies.
