Irwin’s, the Northern Ireland bakery firm, has developed a new pan bread range, Better You, which is low in sugar and fat and less than 60 calories per slice.
The Portadown business – established in 1912 – has secured listings in 630 stores for the Better You range, including Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Mace.
The range includes both a white and wholemeal loaf.
Noeline McCooey, head of technical and NPD at Irwin’s, said: “We know consumers consider bread a staple in the weekly shop. However, we understand today’s shopper is increasingly health–conscious and in search of variety, so we created the Better You range to give shoppers a lower calorie option of our popular pan breads.
“Our ethos at Irwin’s Bakery is to promote a healthy lifestyle, with our breads very much a part of this way of life – therefore we keep this as a primary focus when investing in new product development and creating new lines. As well as being low in sugar, the white loaf is a source of protein and the wholemeal is high in fibre.”
