It is therefore essential to carefully analyze the composition of the product before buying – as you would with any food. For health, the best sandwich bread is especially the one made with whole grains and organic. However, wholemeal flour costs more, which affects consumers, and it also has a shorter shelf life.
“It is important to look at the list of ingredients that appears on the label and to favor a product where there are few additives, i.e. the shortest possible list. In general, sandwich bread in bakeries is completely different from industrial sandwich bread, does not contain additives and is similar to brioche bread. It is therefore better from a nutritional point of view, even if it is made of ultra-processed flours.”advises Maxime Mességué, dietitian-nutritionist, to Women’s Journal.
