Warburtons Bread, anyone else have this problem?

PS , it’s the same with fresh loaves as well, so it isn’t the freezing that’s causing it.

I don't buy Warburtons, but I do sometimes get that chemically smell from other brands.
It seems so random that I haven't yet managed to work out what causes it!

its odd that I’m the only one who can smell it, I’m obviously a sensitive little flower!

Is it just white bread Oopsadaisy?

I don't often eat bread but when I do, it's Warburtons wholemeal and I can't say i've noticed a smell.

It's vile ! As is all wrapped bread. I'm sure my sense of smell and taste buds have increased in strength as I've got older as I could balk at some of the foodstuffs that have changed over the years.
Even tins of sweets/chocs at Christmas stink to high Heaven, they don't smell at all appetising when you remove the lids.

The inferiority of foodstuffs as far as I'm concerned is a disgrace. So many takeovers over the years have left some items inedible.

We’ve been using a bread maker since a programme showed how many additives go into factory produced bread. It’s certainly helped with OH’s allergies. A bit of pain now with flour and yeast in such short supply.

The only wrapped bread that I found edible was one called Henllan a Welsh baked bread supplied to Asda, which I haven't unfortunately been able to get with me not going to Asda.

I really like Warburtons white sliced bread. Never noticed a smell and I’ve got a good sense of smell. How strange!

M&S own baked ( on the premises ) bread is lovely. Why can't all bread taste the same as this ?

DH likes a sliced white for toast and sandwiches, admittedly it’s helped my weight, because I don’t eat it, as it’s disgusting, but Warburtons is the only bread that I’ve noticed that smells.

Dontmind it’s all Warburtons bread not just the white.

I find all white sliced bread smells of ammonia. I buy it for the family but don't eat it. Warburtons is not as bad as other brands. Kingsmill is the worst.

I know the smell well, disgusting.
It’s all the chemicals.

I buy Warburtons gluten-free bread, it's one of the better tasting ones. I cannot say Ive encountered this problem at all.

Why not write/email and tell them the problem.

I prefer home baked and have plenty of time to make it. Even soda bread, done in thirty minutes, makes far better toast than sliced stuff.

I make two loaves and slice, wrap and freeze one when it's cooled down.

Then there is bannock, so quick and lovely for lunch!

I have Warburtons seeded loaf and never smelt anything only normal bread smell

Barmwyoldbat that’s a good idea, but I thought I was the only one who noticed it.
I’m just being idle and should be making my own bread really, but the mess that DH makes when he slices uncut bread has to be seen to be believed.

I cant say I've noticed a smell with Warburtons bread. DH likes Jacksons of Yorkshire white sliced bread, but I don't, I think the crust tastes annd smells funny. I can't describe it, but I find it unpleasant.
I'm trying to make more bread, it's much nicer, and you know what is in it.

I like Hovis best of both, also i notice wholemeal seems to stay fresher longer
Rarely buy white bread

Warburtons gluten free is the best of the gf breads, Genius is not bad
Their Scotch pancakes are the best, too.
I know that they make the gf bread in a different factory to normal bread.

I'm not sure about normal bread, it's in the freezer ready for DH to take a slice or two out and he has never complained.

Oopsdaisy, I can believe the mess your husband makes. Mr Barmey makes his own bread in a bread maker and the mess when he cuts it is unbelievable. About writing/emailing about the bread, I worked as a temp for 4 weeks in a bread factory in the complaints department and people use to send in slices of bread with holes in it. We use to treat the complaint in a proper way and always send them a cheque for £5. Probably the reason we had so many complaints.

I like Warburton's seeded bread, small loaves, thick sliced. I've never tried their white. Their fruit teacakes are good too. Neither has a 'chemical' smell, but a bit yeasty.
Oops maybe your sense of smell has changed?

I just sniffed DH's Farmhouse with soda (a substitution in the online shop) and it smells just like bread.

Sometimes things do smell odd if we've had a cold, have hay fever or, perhaps I shouldn't suggest this, if you are going to have a migraine headache.
Do you suffer from migraines, Oopsadaisy?
I hope not, but it is a thought.
