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.

I am what is generally described as…

I am what is generally described as aged and recently my purchases of Warburtons products to put it mildly have been extremely disappointing.
I actually thought that due to my age my taste buds were changing for the worse. Luckily I checked out Warburtons on Trustpilot and realised that it was Warburtons massive drop in standards that was the cause. What a shame, they were stand alone brilliant.
Trustpilot is now becoming my first point of reference before I purchase. I certainly did not think of food products but I will now…

Smells funny

Purchased an in date orange coloured toastie loaf in Aldi's, I opened the packet it just stank of something of I don't know what. I put the bread in the toaster it came out it just started crumbling the edges are rock hard and it doesn't even fit in the toaster properly. I burped a little while later and could taste something like I said I don't know what that is I won't be buying one of those anymore in fact I've never been a fan of warburtons, somebody actually told me at adistribution centre that they're not very good.

Crap teacakes

Hoorble teacakes. Smaller than they used to be, hardly any fruit an tastless.
Are they farming out the tea cake order? Not up to the Warburton standards that I expect !!
I know all manufacturers are cutting back on size to avoid significant price increases but quality as well ?
I for one will not be buying any more till the matter is resolved.

Where has all the fruit gone

Had some fruit tea cakes a couple of days ago, never again, they use to be so fruity, not any more, half the fruit gone, where are you coming from Mr. Warbuton, stop paying millions to these Amercian stars, stop cutting back on your ingredients, think about donating all these millions to charities and food banks, i think you take on these Amercian stars for you own ego, think on Mr. Warburton and stop this ego trip

Until you restore the original recipe.so from one person. your company's going to lose £565.75 per year. Put to your product team.paul Watts.

I have lived in Switzerland for 22…

I have lived in Switzerland for 22 years and always bring 6 loaves of Warburtons back with me when I visit the UK. For the last 21 years the bread has been perfect when taken from the freezer. This last year has been a disaster! What went wrong? The taste is awful and the texture is poor. They must have changed the recipe. Please solve this problem, Warburtons!

Totally inedible bread

Totally inedible bread, I'm talking about the toastie bread, but generally this applies to all the breads in the waxed packing. Pity really as my favourite bread is also made by warburtons. Why do they sell this rubbish which harms their reputztion

No idea whats happened to warburtons…

No idea whats happened to warburtons but it used to be the go to for a decent sandwhich and toast, the green was perfect.

Its changed, no taste, green loaf is now waffer thin and texture seems like bog standard 50p own brand loaves.

Great shame, other brands too have gone the same way.

Why bother paying the premium?

Warburtons Bread PALM OIL

I will not be using this sticky like chewing gum bread again; the White bread had already gone from our cupboard since the flavour profile went to tasteless glue but now to learn the Brown bread has PALM OIL in.... I will use Morrisons brown bread that does not have PALM OIL in. That’s my part for another rain forest :-)

Tasteless products

Warburton's products have become absolutely tasteless. Might as well eat cardboard. Might be due to reduced salt but this is counter productive as results in people using sugary toppings such as jams and chocolate spreads. I put my jam on leftover Amazon cardboard nowadays- just as good

Worst bread I've ever had !!!

Supposedly THICK toastie loaf is same thickness as medium sliced, as for toasting it you'd be better off buying Danish crispbread because what little moisture contained in the bread evaporates when toasted resulting in a dry slice of toast which has no fluffy centre. Normally buy Hovis thick which always satisfies but it was out of stock so tried Warburton and wish I hadn't. Maybe that's how they can afford the expensive ad campaigns by selling dry thin bread, oh and the wrapping is pretty useless as well...definitely won't be wasting money on that misleadingly labelled rubbish again.

Wrapping on Warburtons thick slice bread.

We purchase Warburtons thick slice loafs several times per week and we’ve noticed that 9 times out of 10 the wrapping paper has split meaning that the bread becomes stale quicker or worse accidentally touches other shopping products or the till persons hands. This clearly is a recent change in packaging production and needs to be amended asap - or they will lose sales. Starting with mines (as said circa 12 loafs per month for my family alone)

Worbitons toasty bread is rubbish

Worbitons toasty bread is rubbish, it feels stale as soon as you buy it, ive started buying tesco or sainsbury's own brand toasty bread it's made by kings mill stays fresh and it's cheaper, maybe mr warburton should spend more time improving the quality of his bread instead of expensive actors

Bought a so called thick toastie loaf…

Bought a so called thick toastie loaf today. If this is supposed to be thick sliced I’d hate to see a thin sliced loaf. It’s the worst bread I’ve ever had. Aldi or Lidl bloomer loaves are amazing compared to this rubbish. Half the price too. Just don’t understand how this company can carry on like this.

Toastie loaf wrapping!!

Toastie loaf wrapping!!
Come on Warburtons, do you think we're stupid?
It's become like tissue paper!
Unless you grab it with 'kid gloves' your fingers go straight through the sides of the wrapper.........
I think I know exactly what Warburtons marketing department are sneakily doing, I mean "what could be simpler, make the wrapping thinner 'Save money' on manufacturing - product goes stale quicker when it tears - customer has to purchase new loaf quicker, what a marketing sham! SORT IT OUT WARBIES, we ain't supid!!
PS, I've been using it for 30yrs+!
