Common questions

Is Sainsbury's British Plain Flour healthy?

Sainsbury's British Plain Flour scores 87/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Sainsbury's British Plain Flour?

Sainsbury's British Plain Flour lists 5 ingredients, starting with Fresh-ground Whole Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Niacin, Iron and Thiamin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Sainsbury's British Plain Flour contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Sainsbury's British Plain Flour’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Sainsbury's British Plain Flour?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Sainsbury's British Plain Flour yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

Is Sainsbury's British Plain Flour organic?
