Great Harvest mills its own flour in store daily and its plain breads are genuinely simple - Honey Whole Wheat is fresh-ground whole wheat, water, honey, yeast, salt and eggs, with no oil at all - so the bakery side is about as clean as a chain gets. The seed oils, nitrites and preservatives all arrive through the cafe menu's bought-in mayonnaise, dressings and deli meats, and every bakery is independently owned and free to change ingredients, so your local store may differ.
Rated 2026-09-07 from Great Harvest's four nutrition workbooks at greatharvest.com/our-food/bread-nutrition-info: 437 items, all with full ingredient statements. SCOPE WARNING: those charts are headed "Ingredients used in Dillon, MT" and the company says bakeries are individually owned and free to change recipes and ingredients, so this is a corporate recipe reference, not a chain-wide guarantee. seed_oil=some: 205 of 437 items (47%) carry a seed oil, but it is lopsided - only 16 of 119 breads do, and 12 of those are sunflower oil inside sweetened dried fruit. Honey Whole Wheat and Dakota contain no oil. Soybean oil (118) is almost all cafe and breakfast sandwiches. additives=some: nitrites in 79 items via cured deli meat, artificial flavor 18, benzoate 7, HFCS 4, BHA/BHT 2; zero TBHQ, titanium dioxide, propylene glycol, azodicarbonamide. nova=some: flour is milled in store daily and the breads are simple, but the sandwich fillings and sweet inclusions are bought in. plastics null.
