At a glance
Summary
California Sourdough Bread is made with simple ingredients like unbleached wheat flour, water, sea salt, and barley malt, which contribute to its relatively clean label. The absence of harmful additives such as artificial colors, flavors, or seed oils is a positive aspect. However, as a processed food, it is subject to a processing score cap, which limits its maximum potential rating despite its clean ingredient list.
