Flour and Bread Nutrition

FAB is also keen to encourage people to eat more bread as part of a healthy, balanced diet so we communicate bread’s nutritional merits through a range of activities. Basically we aim to show the positive contribution bread makes to the UK diet.

FAB is part of the UK Flour Millers (trade association for flour Millers) and is funded by UK flour millers.

Across all our various activities, we establish partnerships with authorities in the field and work with a wide range of experts to ensure our information is consistent, accurate and based on sound science.
