Why Is Warburtons White Bread High In Syns?

Some types of bread on the slimming world plan can be used within your Hex B allowance and doesn’t count towards syns due to its fibre content, this is most high fibre bread or wholemeal bread.

Standard white bread from Warburtons does have a syn count ranging from 3.5-5.5 syns due to its carbohydrates and sugar content which has little fibre.
