Author Topic: soya free white bread in the UK? (Read 43163 times)

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 · « **Reply #2 on:** September 22, 2010, 06:54:58 am »

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.

Buntybear · « **Reply #5 on:** September 22, 2010, 19:12:45 pm »

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

Buntybear · « **Reply #7 on:** September 26, 2010, 09:12:22 am »

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 · « **Reply #8 on:** September 26, 2010, 18:47:59 pm »

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 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 27, 2010, 12:57:09 pm »

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 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 27, 2010, 14:48:52 pm »

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

firsttimemummy · « **Reply #13 on:** September 27, 2010, 18:18:38 pm »

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!

Buntybear · « **Reply #14 on:** September 27, 2010, 18:52:53 pm »

HI,

Have def seen this brand in the supermarkets and is soya free

http://www.wrightsflour.co.uk/product.aspx?productid=1

firsttimemummy · « **Reply #15 on:** September 28, 2010, 16:44:00 pm »

Thanks - I think this may be the ones we buy - should keep an eye out for the white bread one (the website isn't working at the moment!)

ireneee · « **Reply #16 on:** September 29, 2010, 15:43:37 pm »

Hi there,
The only white bread with no soya that I have found are those baguettes that you need to bake in the oven yourself from Tesco. They come in a pack of 4 but my LO loves them.
Otherwise, we get her the Golden Wholemeal bread from Marks and Spencers (but it's not white), crumpets or some of the wraps, like Mission Deli. I think there are some pitta breads that are soy free but they vary so much from supermarket to supermarket that I can't remember the ones we got (we haven't bought them for ages).
And when we are in the mood, we use the breadmaker!

firsttimemummy · « **Reply #17 on:** September 29, 2010, 17:35:12 pm »

Thanks for that - also recently discovered that most bagels seem to be soya free but just want a change for him! Will keep my eyes peeled for those baguettes

)

ps thanks for reminding me there are wraps in the freezer for DS!!

Buntybear · « **Reply #18 on:** November 08, 2010, 17:11:24 pm »

I have just found a white bloomer in the bakery section of Co-op that has no soy

firsttimemummy · « **Reply #19 on:** November 08, 2010, 18:02:36 pm »

Thanks - the morrisons part-baked rolls are also soy free. No Co-op near us, unfortunately

danielbb · « **Reply #20 on:** August 18, 2011, 18:55:08 pm »

This page came up on google search, so i thought id be helpful.

Tesco Baker soft whole and white is soya free

http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=267010412

I accidently found i have a soya intolerance when i ate this bread and my symtoms disappeared. The only ingrediant difference was the soya

All the best.

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!! That is awesome!

Buntybear · « **Reply #22 on:** August 18, 2011, 21:40:37 pm »

What a result - thanks for posting

danielbb · « **Reply #23 on:** August 19, 2011, 03:25:00 am »

Its a bit more chewy and a little has less taste, but closer to a white bread than brown. Im searching for more

ill report back if i find some :-)

~Emma~ · « **Reply #24 on:** August 19, 2011, 08:50:13 am »

Nah, its all good. I'm going to get a loaf and just use it for Dylan for toast. I'll store it in the freezer and just toast it as I need it.

I was dreading having a constant supply of bagels in the house again purely for the fact that I love them and end up eating them myself drenched in butter. Not good for expanding waistline.

firsttimemummy · « **Reply #25 on:** August 23, 2011, 08:04:08 am »

Will need to look out for that one, thanks! Hovis also now do a soya free one - can't remember the name of it but it is a wholemeal one

Lemonthyme · « **Reply #26 on:** August 24, 2011, 16:51:15 pm »

Hi, I don't know if it helps but I work in a bakery. Soya flour is sometimes used in improvers but not always. Improvers are used to help keep bread soft. It might be worth trying Aldi; I know, sounds strange but at the moment a lot of smaller bakeries produce for Aldi and they will produce products to different recipes to big plant bakers and may use soya free improvers for some of their recipes (although soya will be used in some products they produce). Alternatively, I can't suggest enough that you try making your own. Yes, it's a hassle but you don't have to do it every day and if you make it using a sponge method it tastes blooming fantastic!

danielbb · « **Reply #27 on:** January 30, 2012, 21:37:35 pm »

Back again, they have sodding changed it, to bakersoft 'bit of both' with soya. I nearly had a breakdown in the tesco aisle today lol. However i have found a lead online.

"If you are looking for any soya free bread in the UK then i have found a few - a Crusty farmhouse white sliced loaf from M&S and the White & Wholemeal sliced from Waitrose. "

Guess where im going tomorrow.

firsttimemummy · « **Reply #28 on:** January 30, 2012, 21:39:44 pm »

I never managed to find that bakersoft one - but how annoying they have changed it!!!

We tend to just use Wright's and supermarket (Asda and Tesco, i think) own make bread mixes which you add water to and throw into bread machine - Hovis version has soya

danielbb · « **Reply #29 on:** January 30, 2012, 22:31:22 pm »

bread machine bread is awful

thick, small horrible loaves.

I did actually bake my own loaves a few years ago, after 10 attempts i mastered it, looked identicle to bakers bread, but i still cant get on with the taste. Tried lots of things, must be something in the bread improvers.

Not bad for an amateur eh

Alot of work for 1 loaf mind.

danielbb · « **Reply #30 on:** January 31, 2012, 14:31:26 pm »

Gearys 100% british wheat, white sliced farmhouse from Aldi. 69p

firsttimemummy · « **Reply #31 on:** January 31, 2012, 15:20:27 pm »

bread looks nice - thanks for the Aldi photo too - just need to find where the nearest one is ...

Buntybear · « **Reply #32 on:** January 31, 2012, 21:49:43 pm »

Buy a new freezer and fill it with that bread!

Not sure how good Aldi are with regulary stocking items?

I remember when Sainsburys stopped stocking the bread I got Olly. Rang round half the supermarkets in the midlands trying to track it down. ended up begging and pleading to get it on prescription and it worked, so now I get it free!

danielbb · « **Reply #33 on:** January 31, 2012, 22:37:28 pm »

prescription bread! how does that work!

I did actually buy a freezer for this bread lol, off ebay £20. its full to the brim with bread as we speak.
