Nutrition
At Lesaffre, we make sure that bread is a natural source of nutrition and helps people to lead healthy lives. We do this by reducing the quantities of certain ingredients, such as salt, fat and sugar, and adding others, including vitamins and minerals. The result is enticing baked products with a good nutritional profile and the unmistakable
taste of indulgence.
Wellness
Typically consumed every day in so many countries around the world, bread can be an ideal way of providing benefits to specific groups within the population, such as children, seniors, and women during pregnancy.
Diet
Bread is also an ideal way of supporting the many different dietary choices being made by today’s consumers. Our product portfolio caters for lifestyle choices and personal commitments, like veganism, along with health requirements, such as gluten-free products.

To increase the protein intake of consumers without using animal ingredients, Lesaffre has developed the perfect solution, Springer Proteissimo® 101.
