You say - I don't eat Kings Hawaiian Rolls.  Actually, I don't either, but their label was easiest to find.
So - grab the bread in your kitchen, and read the label on the bag.  What's in it?? Here's the ingredient list for my basic white bread (using bleached enriched white bread flour)
ENRICHED FLOUR (BLEACHED WHEAT FLOUR, ENZYME, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), WATER, SALT, YEAST.

For White Whole Wheat Artisan Bread, the third ingredient becomes whole wheat flour.
For Rosemary/Thyme Artisan Bread, the last two ingredients are dried rosemary and dried thyme and so on.  But, it's all built on a foundation of flour, water, salt and yeast.    


Of course, I have different recipes, but most are based on this ingredient list.  But, there is nothing that ends with
SULPHATE
ALUMINATE
LACTYLATE
and no preservatives or sugar or oils or fats. No eggs (or anything derived from eggs).  No nuts - though the bread IS made in a kitchen where peanut butter is present.

You decide what you want to eat.


And, when was your bread baked? My Fresh Bread Company tells you - clearly.
