Bakers Delight has launched the very first certified, FODMAP friendly freshly-baked loaf to appeal those with food intolerances.

 

Bakers Delight’s new Wholegrain Lo-Fo Loaf is high in protein, is packed with seeds and grains and is low in FODMAPs - a collection of short chain carbohydrates and sugars that can cause digestive discomfort in some people.

 

Breads top the list of offenders according to the two thirds of Australian consumers who say they experience digestive discomfort, and they are usually high in FODMAPs, Bakers Delight said.

 

“After years of research, product development and close consultation with the FODMAP Friendly organisation, we are excited to finally give those with sensitive tummies and FODMAP intolerances the opportunity to enjoy delicious, wholesome and healthy bread again,” joint CEO at Bakers Delight Elise Gillespie said.

 

Certified by FODMAP Friendly, the new Bakers Delight Wholegrain Lo-Fo Loaf has been rigorously tested for appropriate levels of FODMAPs, accordimg to the company.

 

The loaf's RRP is $6.30.
