Why is the Tiger Bloomer classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The bread is made from refined starches, added flavourings, preservatives and a stabiliser, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group. Its additive list includes calcium propionate (E282) as a preservative, vegetable glycerine (E422) used as a humectant and gellan gum (E464) as a stabiliser.

How does the salt content of Tiger Bloomer affect a hypertensive diet?

Tiger Bloomer contains 0.74 g of salt per 100 g, which equals about 185 mg of sodium. While this is lower than many conventional breads, it still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be considered within the overall diet of someone managing high blood pressure.

Is Tiger Bloomer suitable for gluten‑free, vegan, or keto diets?

The product is certified gluten‑free, making it appropriate for gluten‑free diets. It is not vegan because it includes egg white powder, and it is unsuitable for keto diets due to its high carbohydrate content of 40.4 g per 100 g.

Product Insights

Tiger Bloomer is a 400 g gluten‑free bread from Warburtons, listed under the bread category despite containing egg white powder which makes it non‑vegan and a potential allergen.

The formulation includes three food additives – calcium propionate (E282), vegetable glycerine (E422) and gellan gum (E464) – and the presence of egg protein may limit suitability for certain consumers.
