Ciabatta Original Sliced Buns
Summary
The Ciabatta Original Sliced Buns are made with a simple ingredient list, primarily consisting of enriched wheat flour, water, and sea salt, which contributes to a cleaner label compared to many processed breads. However, the use of enriched flour indicates a moderate level of processing, which limits the score. The absence of harmful additives or seed oils is a positive aspect, but the product's processing level prevents it from achieving a higher rating.

Unbleached Untreated Enriched Wheat FlourNeutral
This flour is enriched with vitamins and minerals, which can help replenish nutrients lost during processing. It is not bleached, which avoids additional chemical processing. However, it is still a refined flour, lacking the fiber and nutrients found in whole grain alternatives.
