Arnold Small Slice 100% Whole Wheat Bread

Arnold Small Slice 100% Whole Wheat Bread is a familiar, shelf-stable loaf you’ll find in the center-store bread aisle, stacked on shelves near other whole-grain loaves, sandwich thins, and packaged bagels. Packaged in a clear plastic bag with the Arnold brand banner, the 18 oz loaf is marketed as a nutritious everyday choice — small-slice pieces that trim calories to about 70 per slice while still delivering 15 grams of whole grains. It suits quick breakfasts, school lunches, and office sandwiches: toast a slice for morning butter and jam, stack deli meats for a grab-and-go lunch, or build a peanut butter and jelly classic for kids. Arnold’s positioning leans on heritage and trust — a mainstream brand aimed at families and health-minded shoppers who want convenience without sacrificing a whole-grain story. Label claims emphasize “100% Whole Wheat,” “no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives,” and “no high fructose corn syrup,” though the package does not claim organic certification. In plain terms this is a commercially produced packaged bread made from milled whole wheat flour with added functional ingredients (yeast, wheat gluten, emulsifiers) to ensure consistent texture and shelf life. Sensory notes: thin, uniform slices with a soft, slightly chewy crumb and a mild wheaty aroma; the small-slice format makes sandwiches less bulky and toasting faster, creating a light crisp on the surface while remaining tender inside. Rituals around the loaf are everyday and practical — kids’ sandwiches, toast at breakfast, and quick meal assembly — fitting seamlessly into American grocery culture as a go-to, reliable whole-grain bread.
