Does the bread contain preservatives?

Some breads do, and some do not! We try to rescue whatever our partner suppliers are producing for the UK market… There can be a perception about preservatives which we need to overcome so that we can reduce bread waste. For example, addition of salt or baking powder, calcium propionate or vinegar can all assist with increasing shelf life – an increased shelf life means a longer time you will have to enjoy and eat your fresh bread before it goes off and ends up in the bin. In many respects, preservatives can be our best friends in the fight against food waste!
