It’s time to get that bread — or better bread, that is.
Nature’s Own, the popular grocery-store bread brand known for its soft texture, has launched its new “Breaducator” campaign to unveil a revamped recipe focused on simpler ingredients.
In other words, it’s less about what’s inside than what’s been left out of the new recipe.
Led by professional wrestler and media personality John Cena, the campaign debuted earlier this month to announce a line of loaves with up to 38% fewer ingredients.
And, all of the new bread products are now Non-GMO Project Verified, made without any artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or High Fructose Corn Syrup.
“Nature’s Own is bread done right. ‘Real. Soft. Bread.’ Now made with simpler ingredients,” shared Cena. “Time to show people what’s in their loaf. Time to breaducate.”
The recipe update follows growing public interest in prioritizing cleaner ingredients, which also happens to be a key focus of the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement — spearheaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald Trump.
Nature’s Own conducted its own research before launching the new simpler bread line, surveying more than 2,000 parents and guardians across the United States.
According to the company’s findings, 80% of U.S. parents said they would be willing to switch bread brands for options made with simpler ingredients. Additionally, eight in 10 parents said clear nutritional information on packaging influences their bread-buying decisions.
Specifically, the new recipe slashes soybean oil, calcium sulfate and monoglycerides — a few common ingredients that have been associated with more processed foods.
There are some slight updates to the nutrition facts; however, it appears the calorie count remains the same at 70 calories per serving. And, according to the company’s website, the updated recipe keeps the taste as close “as possible to what Nature’s Own consumers know and love.”
“Nature’s Own is launching a bold brand refresh, built to shake up the bread category, drive momentum and meet consumers where they are,” said Krystle Farlow, senior director of brand management for Nature’s Own. “Our brand embodies real, simple goodness, and John Cena is the perfect partner to bring that message to life.”
The new, fresh-packaged bread, buns and rolls are available in retailers nationwide.
