How much fibre is in that bread product?

Fancy a change from bread for your daily sandwich? We compare how much fibre is in other options.

As it’s not obligatory, some products didn’t have fibre on their nutrition panel. When fibre is not listed, choose a wholemeal, wholegrain or nut and seed version where possible. To reduce our risk of chronic disease, it’s recommended women have 28g and men 35g of fibre each day.

Higher-fibre products will fill you up for longer, give you sustained energy through the afternoon and help you meet your fibre goals for the day. Two slices of mixed grain sandwich bread (75g) have around 4.5g fibre.

We compared the fibre with that in slices of mixed grain bread.
