FRENCH BREAD
Analysis updated June 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This French bread is ultra-processed, which limits its potential score despite having some beneficial ingredients like a fermented sourdough starter. The presence of xanthan gum and guar gum, both highly processed additives, contributes to its processing level and can cause digestive issues for some individuals. While it avoids major red flags like seed oils or artificial sweeteners, the use of multiple processed ingredients and additives impacts its overall healthiness.
