If you had to name staple foods contributing to Britain’s poor diet – one of the factors blamed for this country’s high death toll from Covid-19 – there’s little doubt industrially-made sliced bread would be near the top of the list.
Over eight million loaves of it are produced a day in the UK, but, even though many of us likely now plump for wholesome-sounding wholegrain over simple sliced white, most of those lack any significant nutrition.

Superloaf will be available from early March exclusively via Amazon Fresh
Oxford supplier Modern Baker has unveiled what is claims is the world’s first ‘smart loaf’ – a hi-tech bread that supports normal immune function while providing fewer calories than traditional bread.
The result of five years’ R&D, the seeded Superloaf contained “a unique blend of fibres” and “plant chemicals” said Modern Baker co-founder Leo Campbell. It was “designed to optimise your gut health”, which in turn supported immunity.
The 800g sliced loaf (rsp: £2.50) contains 208kcals per 100g – about 23% fewer calories than standard seeded bread. “We’re in the low end of any kind of bread,” Campbell added. “Without the seeds, we’d be at about 160kcals per 100g.”
