Best lists
The examination involved 8 sliced loaves of premium wheat flour with a similar composition and organoleptic properties. Now is the time to choose three favorites of the rating, which proved to be the best and can be recommended for purchase.
"Cheryomushki - highly rated by experts
According to the results of the examination of white bread from the Roskontrol organization, out of all the selected applicants, this particular sample most successfully passed the quality and safety test. The Cheryomushkinsky loaf is made in compliance with all GOST standards: the manufacturer did not overdo it with salt, did not add any baking improvers - the composition of the product corresponds to the information on the labeling. In addition, the experts did not have any complaints either to the appearance or to the organoleptic properties of the product.

A sample from the Kolomensky bakery and confectionery plant has excellent taste properties, as well as a natural composition without additives and preservatives. A product weighing 400 g can be purchased at a price of 29 rubles, and this is the lowest cost in comparison with the rest of the competitors, some of which are lighter and not so flawless in composition.
"Shchelkovokhleb" - the choice of buyers
By the number of positive customer reviews, "Shchelkovsky" loaf is the undisputed leader of today's review. The product has excellent organoleptic characteristics, a good and safe ingredient composition and is sold at an affordable price of 30 rubles for a 380 g pack.

How to choose the right sliced loaf in the store
The sliced loaf is extremely popular with the Russian consumer. Almost every well-known brand of bakery products always has its own version of this product, but whether it meets the requirements of GOST and is it safe for consumption is a big question. Here are some things to look out for when choosing white bread in a store:
- The classic sliced loaf is usually sold in a transparent plastic bag, which allows us to visually evaluate it before purchasing. In addition to the integrity of the packaging, it is worth evaluating the presence of condensation: a high moisture content provokes the accelerated development of mold.
- Try to gently press on the surface of the bread product: a fresh and high-quality loaf should quickly regain its shape and not deform from the slightest pressure.
- The regular loaf has an oval oblong shape, smooth surface without cracks. The crust color ranges from golden ruddy to light brown. The more sugar and oil are added, the darker the surface.
- The composition plays an important role when choosing wheat bread. An exemplary product must be made from premium flour, vegetable oil, salt, sugar and yeast. If it contains general-purpose flour, it is not recommended to buy such a product, otherwise you will not get pleasure from the taste, there will be a lot of bread crumbs, and there is still no benefit from such a product.
