Let's look
after ourselves

Take care of your body, enrich your life. Our health and wellbeing depend on the foods we choose to eat – and bread can be a powerful ally in achieving optimal nutrition and wellness. By tailoring our ingredients to diverse dietary needs and lifestyles, we empower bakers to provide genuinely healthy options for every consumer.

Committed to enhancing well-being through nutrition, we develop baking solutions that balance health benefits with exceptional taste, enabling our clients to create products that nourish both body and mind while meeting consumers’ evolving dietary needs and preferences.

Nutrition

At Baking with 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.

Diets

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.

Buttery notes are enhanced by a sourdough flavor that helps to reduce fat in the finished product.

An incredible combination of crustiness and softness
