Don't Buy These 7 bread Brands (And 3 That Are ACTUALLY Real bread)

7 grocery-store bread brands are still using dough conditioners like DATEM and calcium propionate, and most shoppers never flip the bag over to check. We read the actual ingredient labels on Wonder Bread, Sara Lee, Pepperidge Farm, Great Value, Kroger, Nature's Harvest, and Oroweat — then found the 3 mainstream brands (including one you've probably already got in your kitchen) that are still baking bread the way bread is supposed to be made. If you've ever wondered why a "bread" ingredient list runs 15+ items long, or what DATEM, sodium stearoyl lactylate, and potassium iodate are actually doing in your sandwich loaf, this breaks it all down brand by brand — no filler, just the label. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 1:25 #7 Oroweat Country White 2:51 #6 Nature's Harvest White Made with Whole Grain 5:05 #5 Kroger White Sandwich Bread 6:28 #4 Great Value White Sandwich Bread 8:02 #3 Sara Lee Classic White 9:28 #2 Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White 11:06 #1 Wonder Bread Classic White 13:39 #3 Dave's Killer Bread 21 Whole Grains & Seeds 15:50 #2 Nature's Own Butterbread 17:28 #1 Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Bread 18:54 The 30-second test to run in the bread aisle 22:59 Final thoughts 🍞 BRANDS COVERED Avoid: Wonder Bread, Sara Lee, Pepperidge Farm, Great Value, Kroger, Nature's Harvest, Oroweat Actually good: Dave's Killer Bread, Nature's Own, Food For Life Ezekiel 4:9 Drop a comment with which one of these seven is sitting in your kitchen right now, and subscribe for more grocery aisles broken down label by label. #BreadBrands #FoodLabels #GroceryHacks DISCLAIMER: This video is for informational and educational purposes.
