What to know about Modern Sandwich Supreme White Bread
A refined-flour loaf with 467 mg sodium per 100 g
Modern Sandwich Supreme is an 800 g sliced white loaf built on refined wheat flour (maida, 64.1%), sugar, yeast, iodised salt and interesterified vegetable fat, with gluten and soya flour. A preservative, an emulsifier, two acidity regulators, a flour treatment agent and an antioxidant finish the list. It is sold as a soft, everyday bread for sandwiches, and it contains wheat and soy.
A 50 g serve (the pack counts 16 per loaf) gives about 127 kcal, 4 g protein and 234 mg sodium. Per 100 g that is 254 kcal, 7.9 g protein, 6.3 g added sugar, 1.37 g saturated fat and 467 mg sodium. The cost is mainly the refined flour base and the salt, not the fat.
The name says white bread, and that is exactly what it is. The side and back claims of no trans fat and 0% cholesterol are true, but they say little about the refined flour or the sodium. CleanPlate scores it EB3.
Why Modern Sandwich Supreme White Bread scores EB3
Nutrition is the lowest grade because the protein comes from refined flour and nothing else is credited. Ingredients are a B as most additives cost nothing, and risk is a 3, led by 467 mg sodium per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 7.9 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 254 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 7.9 g per 100 g, and nearly all of it, about 7.7 g, comes from the refined wheat flour. Protein from a refined wheat base counts at half weight, so it earns almost nothing.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are shown on the panel, so nothing else lifts the grade. At 254 kcal per 100 g the loaf is mostly energy from refined flour.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.
Good, few concerning additives

- Main fat
- Edible Vegetable Fat
- Sweeteners
- Sugar
- Additives
- 7
- Flagged
- Maida, Calcium Propionate
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
Most of the additives cost nothing: calcium propionate (282), sorbic acid (200), acetic acid (260), fumaric acid (297) and ascorbic acid (300). Emulsifier 471 and the flour treatment agent 510 (ammonium chloride) each cost ingredient points.
Interesterified vegetable fat is not hydrogenated, so the declared 0 g trans fat is accepted. Only the flour has a declared percentage, and no promise on the pack is hollow, so nothing is lost for label integrity.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 6.3 g
- Sodium
- 467 mg
- Saturated fat
- 1.4 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Sodium is the biggest driver: 467 mg per 100 g, 234 mg in a 50 g serve. Added sugar of 6.3 g per 100 g comes next.
Saturated fat is 1.37 g per 100 g, well under the 5 g high line, and trans fat is 0 g. Together they put risk at a 3.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags

Nothing stands out in its favour.
Does Modern Sandwich Supreme White Bread live up to its claims?
No trans fat holds, with 0 g declared and no hydrogenated fat listed. The 0% cholesterol and cleanest-ingredients lines are true-but-framed, and the sugar figures on the panel disagree.
- On the packHolds
“No Transfat”
Trans fat is declared as 0 g per 100 g, and no hydrogenated fat is listed. The fat is interesterified vegetable fat.
- On the packBe careful
“Naturally 0% Cholesterol”
A bread made from flour and vegetable fat has no cholesterol to begin with. The claim is true, but it says nothing about the refined flour or the 467 mg sodium per 100 g.
- On the packBe careful
“Selecting the cleanest ingredients”
The list has seven additives. Five cost nothing, and two (471 and 510) cost ingredient points, so the line is a brand statement rather than a measure.
- On the packBe careful
“Total sugars 67.2 g per 100 g”
The panel prints total sugars far above the 5.1 g carbohydrate on the same panel, so the two cannot both be right. Declared added sugar of 6.3 g is the figure that sets the grade.
What's in Modern Sandwich Supreme White Bread?
Refined wheat flour at 64.1% leads, then sugar, yeast and salt. Watch the sodium, the refined base and two additives that cost ingredient points.
The ingredient list, read for you
Refined wheat flour (maida) leads at 64.1%, followed by sugar, yeast and iodised salt. The interesterified vegetable fat softens the crumb, and gluten and soya flour add structure and protein.
The rest is technical: calcium propionate and sorbic acid as preservatives, emulsifier 471, acetic and fumaric acids for acidity, ammonium chloride (510) as a flour treatment agent and ascorbic acid (300) as an antioxidant. Only the flour has a declared percentage.
Ingredients to watch

6.3 g per 100 g, about 3.2 g in a 50 g serve. Sugar is the second item on the list.
