Summary
San Francisco Sourdough is a processed bread with a relatively clean ingredient list, featuring unbleached wheat flour, sea salt, and no artificial additives or seed oils. However, the presence of vital wheat gluten and yeast indicates a moderate level of processing, which limits its score. The absence of harmful ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup or artificial preservatives is a positive aspect, but the processing level prevents it from achieving a higher rating.
