At the beginning of the year Sainsbury's released gluten free fresh bakery bread into just under 200 of their supermarkets. We released a blog about the bread as it was released, you can read that right here.

In the first few weeks we heard reports that the bread had sold more than 400% over what head office anticipated, since then we have heard all kinds of rumours, most of which came from bakeries within the stores. We have been in contact with Sainsbury's and we can confirm that the rumours that the bread is being completely removed from shelves in absolute rubbish and headquarters are investigating into where this information has come from.

We did however find out that some of the branches are limiting the range down to three items instead of six but they aren't completely going, just reducing down to the lines that sell best, after all the initial release was and still is a trial.

We also found out last week that 70 more branches were getting in the fresh bakery bread which is cooked in special heatproof bags to prevent cross contamination (the bread never leaves the bag from when it is made in the factory until you open it at home). In our original blog post from when the bread was first released, you can find out more about the bread.

Below you will find the list of all the stores selling the fresh bread, stores in RED are the new stores which are stocking the bread, BLACK stores have been stocking the bread since January however the lines may or may not be reduced down in these stores.

We hope with the expansion that this means the range is proving to a success despite what rumours may suggest and that the range just keeps getting pushed out into more stores. It really is some of the best bread out there and deserves to be a success.
