MANDY'S TAKE
“This wholemeal wrap is a refreshing reminder that not all commercial wraps have to be ultra-processed. With a base of wholemeal wheat flour (67%), water, yeast, iodised salt, and essential vitamins, it relies on simple, recognisable ingredients rather than fillers, gums, or preservatives. The result is a nourishing staple that delivers on fibre, protein, and practicality, exactly what families need in an everyday bread. In a market crowded with wraps padded out with starches, emulsifiers, and preservatives, this one stands out for its honest ingredient list and nutrient profile. On the supermarket shelf, it’s a genuine hero option – earning a 4.75/5 Real Food Rating.”

NUTRITION SNAPSHOT
Positives
- Made from 88% wholemeal wheat flour as the main ingredient
- Zero additives or preservatives; no gums, thickeners, or emulsifiers
- A good source of fibre: 4.3g/100g
- High in protein: 11.1g/100g

- Good sodium levels (low for a wrap) - (200mg/100g).
- Extremely short, recognisable ingredient list
Negatives
- Commercial baker's yeast. may not suit those preferring sourdough
- The Real Food gold standard in salt would be sea salt, rock salt or an unprocessed salt. However, iodised salt can help prevent iodine deficiency, which is important for growth and thyroid health. It’s an example of where we weigh up nutritional merit with the real food philosophy — while unrefined salts are preferred, iodised salt has a place in commercial breads and wraps as a practical public health measure
