Where is the bread from originally
We source our end of line bread from here in the UK, ensuring that transport it kept to a minimum, thus further reducing emissions. We currently recieve a range of different breads which allow us to offer you wonderful alternatives, and range to your storecupboard staples.

What shelf life do your products have?
Your standard loaf of bread has a shelf life of 6 days. We receive the bread from our clients within 24hrs of it being freshly made, we then make it into our breadcrumbs and flour the following day and package it. This extends the shelf life to 6 months.

Do you only do breadcrumb and flour?
Currently yes. They are the two products we have available for purchase, but we are developing a further product currently which we will be launching later in the year, and we’ll also be bringing flavours to our breadcrumb range this year too.
We’re always innovating and looking for new and exciting, but most importantly, easily useable and tasty ways to reduce food waste, and provide you with sustainable ingredients.

Can I recycle the packaging?
100% Yes! And we’d love for you to do so. We use a BRCGS supplier for our packaging, which ensures it’s food safe and keeps your ingredients in top-notch condition. It is also recyclable within your normal recycle bin at home. Where possible, we will always use recyclable packaging and labelling on our products.
