Our take
CleanPlate reviewMultigrain sourdough: five ingredients, 10 g fibre
The Health Factory Zero Maida Multigrain Sourdough is a 350 g loaf made from chakki atta, a multigrain seed mix (oats, barley, flax, sunflower, sesame, soya, watermelon seeds), wheat gluten, olive oil and iodised salt. The panel is printed per 100 g with a 64 g serve (two slices).
CleanPlate scores it CA2. The C for nutrition is middling: 12.2 g protein and 10.1 g fibre per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by chakki fresh atta, rolled oats and barley flakes), and almost no additives. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 417 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0.71 g per 100 g).
