Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 62 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers report that products like bread and teacakes go moldy quickly, often well before the best-before date, leading to disappointment and wasted purchases. Reviewers also frequently mention a decline in quality, noting changes in taste and texture, with some describing products as dry, stale, or having an unpleasant chemical flavor. The size of products, particularly bread slices and teacakes, has reportedly decreased while prices remain high, causing frustration among consumers. Some people were dissatisfied with the ingredients, expressing concerns about ultra-processed food and unpronounceable additives, and also reported finding unexpected items in their food. Conversely, a few other people also felt that some products, like the Farmhouse White slice bread or the new sourdough, were still excellent in taste and quality.

There is hardly any fruit in Warburton's Fruity Teacakes despite the claim on the packet of 'plump and juicy currants, sultanas and raisins'. Other brands including shop own brands are better.

My partner & I both agree. The taste is actually unpleasant. We cannot buy this Warburtons Wholemeal bread anymore. It is also not pleasant to eat. What on earth has gone wrong here! Try M&S bread -... See more

Tostie loaf I’m surprised it does not ignite in the toaster the amount of chemicals Warburtons add into their “products”. I use the term product, as it’s clearly not traditional bread making, highly processed junk.

So concerned with trying to make extra margin reduce packet size for greater price , find cheaper ingredients to stuff products with including emulsifiers, palm oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, gelling agents
Etc - that they don’t hold any of the original brand values. A load of crap.

Health Hazard

Just to make the company aware that piece of metal was found in a slice of toast, and it could have resulted in some severe health implications.it was small round and as sharp as a fish hook. Tried to notify the company however their on line form doesnt work.Qite concerning.

Green before sell by date

Have been buying half and half for years but the last three loaves have gone green and mouldy before the sell by date. I thought I got unlucky with one, maybe two but three loaves and I know something is wrong. I store always in the same place, a cool cupboard. Have to choose another brand now as fed up chucking and buying new bread.

UPF ULTRA PROCESSED FOOD

The bread is considered UPF ULTRA PROCESSED FOOD. Your stomach is likely to be in knots eating this. Research what this means for your digestive system. Research what complications these products can do to someone with a slight sensitivity to the ingredients used to make these products and you might be or not be surprised.
While medieval bread was a super food, made to last a day. Modern day bread is a the complete opposite, modern day bread has been turned into poison. Research into this, look at the ingredients...

They state their products are suitable…

They state their products are suitable for vegans and vegetarians yet alongside they have halal accreditation. They pay Muslims for this accreditation and I find it totally inappropriate to pay to a religion which enforces torturing animals at slaughter. All animal lovers should boycott Warburtons.

Changed for the worse

Warburton toastie bread has changed for the worse. It has changed taste and texture. It is as dry as a bone. Crumbling when toasted and turns to cardboard and has an awful chemical after taste. Safe to say I won't be buying it again.

Really nice tasting Farmhouse white 800g loaf

Quite surprised by so many bad reviews here, had Warburton's on and off for years and always found their bread to be some of the best out there, I was in a rush for bread a couple days ago and all that was available was Warburtons farmhouse white loaf and now can't leave the thing alone I've demolished this loaf within hours, unbelievable taste and a very soft nice tasting bread and will be my choice from now on for sandwiches.

The bread is OK

The bread itself is OK but the thin, waxy paper packaging is a nightmare. Terracycle.
It rips way too easily, so the bread doesn't stay as fresh as you'd like, for as long as you'd like.

Lost count of the amount of times we've picked up the loaf and the entire package has ripped apart.

There's nothing special about how it's recycled either. It just goes in with the other basic plastics at your local supermarket.

We've switched to bread (Aldi's own) that stays in a plastic packaging that gets recycled at the exact same place.

Toastie bread is awful.

Toastie bread is awful.. it should say medium slice.. and the crusts are like razor blades! I bet Samuel L Jackson doesn't eat it!
It's no wonder that you hide the bread with the packaging.. nobody would buy it if they could see it!
Should be reported to Trading Standards for Misrepresentation or Fraud!

Absolutely disgraceful!!

Thanks.
