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 🥲

Thick toastie bread.

We've been using thick toastie bread for years but it has gone terrible very rare it's fresh when delivered to shop and the wax wrapping paper needs to go, sort it out warbies.

Great customer service

Submitted a semi joking complaint as one of my bagels was very small. Asked for a replacement bagel. Credit to them they wrote to me with £4 of vouchers! Great customer service

White sliced loaf was all stars - SHAPE not quality

Tried to let Warburtons know about my observations over recent months that the small white medium sliced soft loaf was more often than not full of misshaped slices. Rather than loaf tin shaped they were regularly star shaped (shrinkage from each side & top). Consequently spreading was a mess and uniform cutting for a mixed sandwich platter produced 'odd-ball' triangles from star shaped slices more suited to star atop a Christmas tree. As ever by return was asked by Warburtons for the ubiquitous photos date stamp on closure (binned) tab details bakery best by date, shop name, etc etc (not yet the ASDA checkout ladies maIden name!!!). As this issue has surfaced regularly over the most recent 4-5 months months and is a regular frustration in the Cooper household, I cannot beleive it's an isolated, badly transported, stored or delivery problem as the search continues for a loaf that's loaf shaped (not much to ask for ? perhaps it's a Scottish thing?) as presented by the current marketing messages and 'A' list celebs. Perhaps more focus on the production/product would be beneficial rather than the promise of bread that's out of this world BY A STAR !

Described as "Thick Bread"

Described as "Thick Bread", think the person who catagorised this as Thick, was thicker than the bread!

The loaf remains the same size, no problem with that, the price or the quality and taste.

But if your gonna call this Thick bread, maybe you need to go to Specsavers!

rubbish bread---------- Forwarded message ----------

hi
i have beena warburtons while blue bag bread eater for at least 20 years and your product has gone downhill, especilly these last 2 years.

the problems are bread slices with holes in them, loaves that are weird shapes and to beat all the latest problem getting loaves with different thickness slices as per photos.
what do you do cut the loaves and shuffle and deal.

i enclose photos, lost the best ones from last week, i can always send some more when i buy my next loaf.

making bread with all the latest technologies must be easier than years ago but your loaves get worse all the time.

please explain why you cant make loaves without faults, think i know, you have bought new machinery to make it faster but it does not work properly.

none of their methods to complain work
