Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 65 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Consumers frequently mentioned that the bread products tasted extremely dry, like cardboard, and sometimes carried an unpleasant chemical or plastic flavor. Many people also experienced persistent issues with mold appearing on the crusts well before the expiration date. Others expressed deep frustration regarding smaller slice sizes, reduced quantities, and a poor overall value for the money.

Sour Dough wrapper has a strong plastic/chemical smell, especially a few days after opening, then the bread tastes awful. Shame as the bread is good otherwise and it didn't used to have this proble... See more

There is hardly any fruit in Warburton's Fruity Teacakes despite the claim on the packet of 'plump and juicy currants, sultanas and raisins'. Other brands including shop own brands are better.

Two loaves of Warburton's Medium Sliced…

Two loaves of Warburton's Medium Sliced bread in a row gone mouldy well within the best before date. Bread stored in the same place as it has been for years, and other bread products stored there keep as expected.

I've been a Warburton's customer for years but I can't afford to pay a premium price for a non-premium product.

Mold on the crusts of bread

Mold on the crusts of bread. This is the 3rd time in the past few months this has happened. It's not good enough! It's still in the best before date and theres little bits of mold on them. We've never eaten any other bread and this has never happened before, let alone multiple times. Looking at reviews online, clearly I'm not the only one noticing that recently there's been more mold appearances. Will be buying different brands loafs now, absolutely ridiculous and so disappointed.

Having been a Warburton's customer for …

Having been a Warburton's customer for over 35 years I finally stopped buying there products,a loaf of bread. Should have a longer shelf life of 2 days before it goes green mouldy,the bread has a greasy slimy texture,and doesn't even taste like bread any more,even the birds won't eat it.and this goes for all your products,

Quality is crumbling!

I used to think Warburtons Half & Half was ok, but the quality seems to have gone down the pan. Has the recipe changed? The taste and texture is every bit as bad as the bread from Tesco and Hovis.

green and mouldy for too quick

I have eaten Warburtons bread for as long as i can remember but the last month or so I have had to throw away loads as it has gone green and mouldy before sell by date some of the time. I am keeping it in the same way I always have so it has to be a change to the bread or packaging.

A V O I D

Two of us ate their "soft pittas" within an hour of each other. Wow. My friend began feeling ill, sweating, bloated and tummy pain. When I ate mine and hour later, I had EXACTLY the same symptoms and felt as if id just eaten a bowl of cold wallpaper paste. Writing to the company today as of 22/7

Not real bread

Poor quality bread with a chemical taste, real bread doesn't have preservatives that taste bad. Even my 7 year old thinks that the breakfast muffins tasted much worse than Mc Donalds so that says it all!

Absolutely disgusting.

Warburton, no longer make "proper bread " it's just soggy tasteless dough. I used to love Warburtons but, not any longer. I have emailed the company for information but surprise surprise there has been no reply. This doesn't surprise me. Yuk.

There has been a change in the recipe

There has been a change in the recipe, the bread is no longer soft. It is artificial and non existent. It is really dry and has no taste. It reminds me of bread you get on holiday but not nice tasting. I’ve had an IBS flare up today because of this… please bring back the old recipe 🥲
