Our take

CleanPlate review

A high-protein loaf with a clean list.

The Health Factory Low GI Multigrain Bread builds on chakki atta with a protein blend (soy, pea, peanut, wheat and whey) and a five-seed mix, with no added sugar.

CleanPlate scores it [L]BB3. The B for nutrition reflects 13 g of protein and nearly 10 g of fibre per 100 g. The B for ingredients and label reflects a clean list let down by the name: it isn't multigrain, and the low-GI claim isn't backed by a tested value. The 3 for risk is driven by sodium.

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “Multigrain”

    Misleading

    Wheat is the only cereal grain. The "multigrain seed mix" is soya flakes and seeds.

  • Product name

    “Low GI”

    Partly true

    Plausible given the protein and fibre, but the pack states no tested GI value.
