soya free white bread in the UK?

[firsttimemummy]

Has anyone found a loaf of standard white bread that does not contain soya flour?  I didn't even know they put soya flour in until I gave some to DS and he got a sore bottom 

I have found organic wholegrain bread that is soya free and white bagels but no standard white loaves.  Anyone else found one?  There are no nice (or any, in fact) little bakeries nearby that may not use soya 

Thanks

....bump....

I'm in the US, so not sure.

Have you found any yet?

[firsttimemummy]

Not yet ... at dietician in a few weeks so will ask there! DS is enjoying bagels at the moment (and pretty much everything else that we give him, or try to eat ourselves!!!).  Will keep my eyes peeled.... thanks for the bump!

Sainsbury's 'Free From'?

Hi, Waitrose website is always a good place to start as you can narrow down by milk and soy free items. Have taken a look and most breads are wholemeal though there is a white seeded loaf? They are Waitrose own brand so no good if there isn't one near you  Might help you with other things too as I assume they add branded food into this search.

Sorry I automatically said milk free above as that is what I always search for! You are only soy free 

MandS seem to do some, there must be one by you - they are everywhere now! ... found this list of soy free foods they sell

Thanks ladies - there is an M+S simply food near us so I will try there

Hi, I am going to try going soy free too and went to my local Simply Food and found some white seeded bread. Now I am not a fan of the seded stuff but actually for toast this morning it was OK!

[firsttimemummy]

Okay - will look out for that - DS loves seeds so should be a good one for him! Just need to remember to get to M+S now!!

DH realised last night that there is probably so much soya in white bread at the moment due to a record-high price for wheat ... bread hasn't really gone up in price so they must be substituting wheat for soya to keep prices down

I was never able to find any when we were in England - we left in July 2009. But I needed milk and soy free so perhaps that was the problem...maybe if I'd been okay with milk it would have been easier? It might be easier to make your own?

[firsttimemummy]

I hadn't even thought about soya being in white bread until DS has problems with soya, so maybe it has always been the case Yes, we should start making our own bread - we even have a breadmaker ....

[Buntybear]

We have a bread maker too but it was gathering dust before having a baby let alone after! Last resort maybe lol 

[firsttimemummy]

That's the worst thing - DH even made some bread last night with it!! We cheat though and buy the ready made packets that you just add water to - not seen a soya free one ... so will need to bite the bullet and buy the raw ingredients!
