Aussies have rated Helga’s Continental Bakehouse as the top pick in Canstar Blue’s latest wholemeal bread ratings, with five stars for freshness, texture, variety and range, packaging and overall satisfaction.
Our review compares wholemeal breads on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which wholemeal bread they think is best!
Canstar Blue surveyed 390 Australians for their feedback on the wholemeal bread they’ve purchased and eaten from a supermarket or grocer (i.e. not from an independent bakery / bakery chain) within the last three months. Note: this survey includes bread purchased from the bakery section at the supermarket as well as bread packaged for the shelf.
The winning brand is the one that receives the highest overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.
