Has another supermarket ditched the Low Carb bread option?

[thekrakenwakes]

I have been a weekly buyer of Hi-Lo from Sainsbury's in Cheshire Oaks since I moved here a couple of years ago but in recent weeks there has been no sign of it. I asked one of the shelf-stackers who said the label on the shelf appears to have been removed and that a number of customers have been asking about it. Customer service weren't much help. I recall Waitrose dumping its product a few months ago. At a time of growing demand for these products why are they doing this? And why can't you get a straight answer from staff? Go to America and you have lots of choice including place slike Aldi. Yesterday I got some stuff from Holland and Barrett and it was £1 a slice! So I'm wondering if its just particular outlets of Sainsbury's that have sarted making life difficult. I also tried the makers but the website address on the packaging does not exist and the phone line is dodgy. The plot thickens.

I bake my own bread. Any supermarket bread is full of junk.

Im talking about HiLo, which is not 'full of junk' or I wouldnt eat it.

I think it's weird to take a popular healthy product off the shelves, especially when the demand for low-carb is only growing.

I think you may be right. It no longer comes up on their online search

They have discontinued it -so annoying. Obviously not making enough money.
Tesco have this https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-...MI3Piyns2HjgMVpqJQBh3t0DmkEAQYASABEgI1gvD_BwE.
22.2 gms per 100 gms, not as low as hi lo.

Ouch

I thought the general rule for low carb food was 10g carbs or less per 100g

Perhaps the majority of low carb eaters are avoiding bread altogether so it's just a very low demand product anyway?

I asked in Sainsburys supermarket in Sheffield and was told that they no longer sell it.What a shame.

It flew off the shelves in my local store. Still waiting for an explanation from the customer services person who was clearly at home with the telly on.

Morrison's do a multi grain thick cut at 16.7 per slice which tastes good and is not too bad carb wise.

I’ve never been able to find it in my local Sainsbury. I buy from SRSLY, it’s not cheap, fortunately I don’t eat much of it so it last for ages (in the freezer).
