FAQs

Why would you eat bread when it's so full of carbs?

Bread got some bad press in the wake of the anti-carb celebrity diet craze, but it's important to realise that carbohydrates are necessary as part of a healthy balanced diet and experts recommend that they should make up about a third of our daily diet.

Carbohydrates provide fewer calories (kcal) than the same amount of fat (carbs provide 4 kcal for each gram, while fat provides 9 kcal for each gram).

Why does Kingsmill only show one set of 'adult' GDAs when I've seen separate values for men and women on other packs?

We follow the IGD (formerly known as the Institute of Grocery Distribution) Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) Best Practice Guidelines regarding the declaration of GDAs. The IGD is a unique organisation in the UK as it brings together the food industry, food retailers, consumer groups and enforcement agencies.

Their guidelines state that if space is limited, we should show the GDAs for an adult in place of separate columns for men and women. Although there may appear to be a lot of room on our packs, we have to provide a lot of information and all of this has to be a reasonable print size to be legible, so we have found that the 'adult' figures the best way to incorporate the GDAs.

The IGD developed a set of GDAs for "adults" using the women's figures to encourage appropriate consumption, particularly amongst those with low energy requirements, so we are in effect giving a 'worst case' example on our pack.
