How does the sugar and salt content of Scandalous Seeds Wholemeal Loaf affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The loaf contains low sugar (2.5 g/100 g) and modest salt (0.75 g/100 g), making it a better choice for diabetics than high‑sugar breads and relatively suitable for those managing blood pressure, though individuals on strict low‑salt regimens may still need to count it.

Is this loaf suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

The product is fully vegan, containing no animal‑derived ingredients, but it is made with wheat flour and malted barley flour, both of which contain gluten, so it is not appropriate for a gluten‑free diet.

Does the inclusion of sustainable palm oil raise any health or environmental concerns?

Only a small proportion of the total fat comes from sustainable palm oil; health‑wise the amount is minimal, but environmentally, any palm oil can be a concern for consumers focused on deforestation, even when sourced sustainably, so it may affect purchase decisions for the eco‑conscious.
