Food Additives

How brown is your bread?

Did you know that brown bread is not wholemeal and actually contains more additives than white bread? Why? Because it's white bread with colouring.

Check on the ingredients label if your not sure.

Wholemeal bread will contain 'Wholemeal flour'. If it just contains wheat flour, then this is refined and not wholemeal. It may contain E numbers. E100 numbers are colourings.

Refined carbohydrates, which includes white bread and brown if it's not wholemeal are poor sources of nutrients and should be avoided.

Don't be fooled by the manufacturers and make sure you become 'Food Smart'. Always check the ingredients labels for additives and preservatives. The simple rule is, if you can't pronounce it then put it back.
