The Real Bread campaign is here

Real Bread is good for you, your community and the planet

Bread is a fundamental part of our diet – in the UK almost three quarters of us eat it every day.

So our bread should be an essential part of our diverse food culture, with skilled bakers being central to our local communities.  Unfortunately, much of our daily bread is produced by a handful of industrial bakers using methods that have little regard for its nutritional qualities or the environmental impact of its production.  Clever marketing tempts us with low prices or ‘healthier’ loaves laced with artificial additions.  But almost all bread made today is based on similar, questionable ingredients and methods.

It’s time we got the chance to choose Real Bread

From this website you can find out where to buy Real Bread, sign-up to support the Real Bread Campaign and tell us that you sell Read Bread.
