What You Should Know

You’d spot these GLUTINO English muffins in the bread or ‘free-from’ aisle, grabbed for a quick toaster breakfast, sandwich base, or lazy weekend brunch. They give a comforting, slightly nostalgic breakfast vibe with modern convenience. The long list of isolated starches, gums, modified cellulose and chemical leavening shows heavy industrial reformulation to deliver a soft, stable texture and long shelf life—hallmarks of an ultra-processed product.
