Our take

CleanPlate review

A sweet white bread with a calcium puzzle.

Modern Milk Plus Milk Bread is made from 56.9% maida with sugar and 3.4% milk solids.

CleanPlate scores it CC3. The C for nutrition partly relies on a high calcium figure that the ingredients do not explain. The C for ingredients reflects maida, interesterified fat and two preservatives. The 3 for risk comes from added sugar.

The source of the calcium is unclear, and the bread is mostly maida and sugar.
