Our take

CleanPlate review

87% atta and almost 10 g of fibre.

The Baker's Dozen Zero Maida Milk Bread is built on 87% whole wheat atta, with rice bran oil and a modest amount of sugar.

CleanPlate scores it [L]CC2. The C for nutrition comes from good fibre and protein. The C for ingredients and label reflects a preservative, three emulsifiers and a "milk bread" name with no milk in it. The 2 for risk reflects low sugar, low saturated fat and moderate sodium.
