Fiber is known to improve gut health by supporting your bowel health and your microbiota. It does this by promoting movement through your digestive system, increasing stool bulk and by encouraging the beneficial bacteria in your gut. We pack our products with at least 6g of fiber per serve which means they are fabulously high in fiber.
This icon means that your product is bursting with prebiotic fiber which is a special form of dietary fiber that act as a food source for the good bacteria in your gut. Our prebiotic fiber is chicory root inulin, which is naturally occurring and contributes to normal gut function through more frequent bowel movements. We also bake with psyllium husk, seeds and bamboo fiber.
Many of our yummy products are milk free which means we don’t use milk as an ingredient, or any ingredients derived from milk.
This icon speaks for itself. Seeing this means you can be sure that your gluten free food contains natural sugars only.
We don’t use any artificial preservatives to make our products last longer.
All our bread and rolls with this icon are a source of Iron. Iron contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
We want to ensure that our gluten free breads are every bit as nutritious as wholegrain wheat breads and so when you see this icon, you know that our bread and rolls are enriched with a source of Calcium, Niacin, Iron, Riboflavin, Thiamine and Folic Acid.
Some of our range is vegan friendly and contain only plant based ingredients (such as vegetables, grains, and fruits).
All Genius product are made with non-GMO ingredients.
Products low in saturated fat have less than 1g saturated fat per RACC (recommended amount customarily consumer = 50g for Bread) and <15% calories from saturated fat, so where you see this icon it means that your product is healthily low in sat fats.
Omega-3 fatty acids are important fats that play several important roles in your body. We use flaxseed to provide omega 3 fatty acids and protein, fiber, it’s also a rich source of some vitamins and minerals.
The FODMAP Friendly logo is clear and easily recognizable. It indicates that a product has been tested to have appropriate levels of all the different types of FODMAPs (fructose, fructans, galacto-oligosaccharides, sorbitol, mannitol and lactose).
Gluten is a protein found in cereals such as wheat, rye and barley. When it's mixed with water gluten forms stretchy, sticky strands, a bit like chewing gum, that bind mixtures together and trap bubbles to form the light and airy consistency of bread and cakes. But, some guts just don’t like it! It can act as an irritant for some people and because it doesn’t provide any essential nutrients it doesn’t contribute to a healthy tum. This means that cooking without gluten requires different ingredients and methods.
When something says it’s 'gluten free' what it mean is it contains less than 20 parts per million (ppm) this is because tests aren't sensitive enough to detect a zero level of gluten.
But only foods that have been tested to less than 20 ppm are allowed to be labelled 'gluten-free', which means even those people who have a high sensitivity to gluten are able to enjoy them with confidence.
It's important to read food labels when starting on a gluten-free diet, as gluten can be found in the most unexpected places such as in soy sauce and cooking sauces.
All Genius foods are gluten free, and we’re also happy to say that all of our products are made without wheat in bakeries that do not handle any wheat containing ingredients.
You can find gluten in a helluva lot of foods in the grocery store, it’s bonkers! Now be prepared, gluten may even be in some of your favorites. The big 3 offenders wheat, barley and rye are often lurking in bread, pasta, pizza, cakes, cookies and breakfast cereals. You’ll often find many processed foods, such as soups, sauces and ready meals contain gluten too. Finding every food that contains it would stump Sherlock Holmes! Check out sausages and burgers. Why? Because breadcrumbs can be used to bulk out the meat – sneaky! So if you have a gluten check the packaging very carefully – your gut will thank you.

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that cannot be digested by our bodies' enzymes. It is found in edible plant foods such as cereals, fruits, vegetables, dried peas, nuts, lentils and grains. Our delicious products are developed to be High in Fiber because of the fantastic array of plant-based ingredients in our recipes including Psyllium Husk, Seeds (including ground flaxseed) and Bamboo Fiber, to name a few.

Prebiotics are a special form of dietary fiber that act as a fertilizer for the good bacteria in your gut. Probiotics are the beneficial live bacteria found in your gut & in certain foods and supplements such as kefir, kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut. Put simply, probiotics are the beneficial bacteria, prebiotics feed the good gut bacteria, helping your gut thrive! (Prebiotics are not alive and so are unharmed by baking).

The simple truth is that it costs a heck of a lot more to make a gluten free loaf than it does to make one form wheat. Wheat is a very common crop that’s readily available around the world. Our loaves often have over 20 ingredients to give the taste, texture and nutrition that we all love – and this can cost 2 to 3 times the amount of a gluten packed loaf.

Some of our breads and rolls contain egg, but our wraps are suitable for vegans.
Nope! All of our Genius products are made without wheat.
