Flowers Foods has expanded its bread offerings with new and returning options across its brands. Nature’s Own adds Wheat + Protein, packed with 22 grams of protein and 9 grams of net carbs per two slices, and Perfectly Crafted Italian Herb, a thick-sliced loaf infused with oregano, rosemary, basil, thyme, and garlic.
Dave’s Killer Bread introduces Supreme Sourdough, an organic, thick-sliced loaf topped with the brand’s signature Good Seed blend, available on the West Coast. The company also brings back Oats & Blues, coated in oats and blue cornmeal, now available nationwide in wide-pan and thin-sliced loaves.
“Our continued investment in innovation is yielding powerful results as we reshape our portfolio to reflect evolving market trends,” said Mark Courtney, chief brand officer at Flowers Foods. “Our newest products build on strong momentum from earlier this year and bring fresh, differentiated options that speak directly to today’s consumers.”
