SIMSON’S PANTRY WHOLEMEAL HIGH PROTEIN LOW CARB WRAPS
High protein and fibre statistics are intended to impress,whilst hiding an ultra-processed minefield of concerning ingredients. It contains an a potential gut-disrupting emulsifier, a preservative that may affect behaviour, a synthetic fibre and highly refined isolated protein that have no place in basic bread. Despite containing only 22% wholemeal flour, it markets itself as a…

MISSION WRAP WHOLEMEAL
This wrap is a textbook case of health-washing. With claims like ‘source of fibre’, ‘source of protein’, and ‘no artificial colours or flavours’ splashed across the front, it positions itself as a wholesome choice. It contains eight food additives, including mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (471), linked to heart disease and possible cancer risk,…

SIMSON’S PANTRY MIXED WHOLEGRAIN
This wrap shows some potential, with moderate sodium levels and no artificial colours, but key concerns outweigh the positives.

But beyond that, it’s still a highly processed product with refined wheat flour, added vegetable oil, and nine additives packed into each wrap, including emulsifiers (471, 481), humectants, raising agents, and stabilisers. While…

HELGAS TRADITIONAL WHITE WRAPS
Don’t be fooled by the word “traditional” on the pack, this white wrap is far from a simple staple. Made with refined wheat flour and multiple industrial additives, it’s more ultra-processed than the branding suggests. While it includes a touch of wholemeal flour and added vitamins, the rest of the ingredient list is designed for…

BAKERS LIFE ALDI LARGE WHITE WRAPS
Despite a “good” fibre number on the label, this wrap is a textbook example of how ultra-processed foods game nutrition panels. Refined wheat flour and palm oil make up most of the ingredients, accompanied by at least eight additives: emulsifiers, gums, raising agents, and preservatives. Palm oil is not only an environmental concern but also…
