Our take
CleanPlate reviewMultigrain bread that is mostly whole wheat
Harvest Gold Multigrain Bread is a 450 g sliced loaf of whole wheat flour (48%) with 13 grains and seeds (15.2%), yeast, sugar, gluten, soyabean oil and salt. A serve is 50 g (two slices) and the panel is printed per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it CA2. The C for nutrition is middling: 10.3 g protein and 7.77 g fibre per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by whole wheat flour, rolled oats and flax seeds), with additives that cost points: DATEM. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 388 mg, free sugar 3.26 g, saturated fat 0.5 g per 100 g).
