Organic Month – Choose Organic When It Matters

September is Organic Month, a chance to celebrate organic food, farming and products – and to look again at what the organic label really means.

In a world full of long ingredient lists, unfamiliar additives and sometimes confusing environmental claims, organic certification offers something refreshingly straightforward: standards that are independently checked and legally regulated.

When you see a recognised organic symbol on a product, it isn't simply a marketing claim. The product and the way it has been produced must meet strict organic standards.

Folic Acid in Flour – What Is Changing and Which Flours Are Affected?

You may have heard about changes to UK flour regulations. From 13 December 2026, folic acid will become a required addition to most non-wholemeal common wheat flour.

We have had a few questions from customers about this and there seems to be some confusion about which flours will actually be affected.

Daily Bread is not taking a position on whether adding folic acid is a good or bad thing. Our aim is simply to give customers clear information and choice. This is different from our policy on GMOs, which we do not stock.

Importantly, folic acid will not be added to every type of flour.

What Actually Makes a Bread Keto? A Wholefood Shopper's Guide

Article provided by Dillon Organic, see their range of Keto Breads and Chicory Fibre Syrup 

If you've spent any time looking for healthier bread alternatives, you've probably come across the term keto bread. But what does it actually mean?

With more people choosing to reduce their carbohydrate intake, keto-friendly products have become increasingly common. The challenge is that there isn't a single definition of what qualifies as a "keto bread", which can make shopping a little confusing.

Some loaves are genuinely designed to support a ketogenic lifestyle, while others simply contain slightly fewer carbohydrates than traditional bread. Understanding the difference can help you make more informed choices and find a loaf that suits your goals.

In this guide, we'll explain what makes a bread keto-friendly, which ingredients to look for, and how to read the nutrition label with confidence.

Celebrating Co-operatives Fortnight

Every year, Co-operatives Fortnight is an opportunity to celebrate a different way of doing business, one that puts people, communities and purpose before profit.

At Daily Bread Co-operative, Co-operatives Fortnight is particularly meaningful because being a co-operative is at the heart of everything we do.

Unlike many businesses, we don't have outside shareholders expecting ever-increasing returns. Instead, we are a worker co-operative, owned and run by the people who work here. Decisions are made collectively, and everyone receives the same rate of pay regardless of their role.

Co-operatives come in many forms, from retail societies and housing co-ops to community energy projects and agricultural co-operatives. What they share is a commitment to a set of internationally recognised values and principles, including democracy, equality, self-help, social responsibility and concern for community.
