Answers

Do Brumby's guarantee that their products only contain the stated ingredients?

Brumby's cannot guarantee there will not be traces of any ingredient in any product due to the scratch-method of baking employed in our bakeries, as all products are prepared using the same equipment and thus there is a risk of cross contamination.

Do Brumby's breads contain preservatives?

Brumby's believes that the use of artificial preservatives should be minimised, so unlike some other bread manufacturers, we do not use any preservatives* in our bread dough. Essentially preservatives 282 and 223 (which have been linked to behaviourial problems in children and adverse reactions in asthmatics respectively) are not found in our breads.
