Great GF Bread
This gf bread is moist and delicious. Could not find in local grocery store Woolworths for a couple of months ... luckily just this week back again. I know non coeliac that have a preference for this particular type.

Old 650g recipe is Back!! 5 stars; Up from 1 for 500g
By chance, I found on an IGA shelf what seems to be the old (great) recipe in 650grams this week, July 2022. 650g moist delicious 5 stars in 2018 went to 500g dry tasteless but supposedly healthy 1 star (0 stars not available) around late 2018 (??) but now it seems that the good one (5 stars) is back.

Where's the Burgen GF Sunflower and Chia???
So disappointed I can't buy Burgen GF Sunflower and Chia Seed bread anymore. This was the best GF bread commercially produced. Now all I can get is dry crumbly bread that needs a ton of butter on on it to get it down!

new recipe is terrible
New recipe gluten free bread(s) are too dry (tried both seeded styles).
This bread is very expensive and so I will not buy this brand anymore.
I loved the old recipe and didnt mind paying the high end price; it was the ONLY GF bread I bought.

New gluten free recipe inferior to original
New recipe Burgen gluten free bread is definitely not as good. Very dry and inferior to original. We found that the original recipe was the best we had found and we went out of our way to buy it. Now we do not now what to buy.

What's happened to Burgen GF bread?
Always found Burgen GF breads the best but suddenly changed and not as good. Also not available anymore at my Woolworths or local grocer. What's happened?! Other breads are very inferior.

Very disappointed
Love the old recipe of the white bread, I started eating bread again after trying other brands and then found Bergen. It’s crumbly, slices are too thick and doesn’t seem fresh.
I haven’t found it on the shelf for a few weeks so I hope you are changing it back to original recipe.

New recipe for Gluten Free Burgen bread
Very disappointed in the new GF Burgen bread. The old one was the best GF bread on the market in my opinion and was much better for making sandwiches than this new recipe. The original one held together whereas the new one is like many other poor GF breads on the market - they fall apart and crumble when you try to make a sandwich with them. Maybe it was a cost cutting exercise.

The quality has dropped through the floor!
Being long term gluten-free dependent, for years I have totally rejoiced and enjoyed all Burgen gluten free bread.
The last time I need more, the quality of the bread was like u healthy white flour very quick to go stage and dry and crumbly.. nothing like the firmness and solidity of actually having food to eat. I am so sad that this has now disappeared from my already difficult life.

Bad new recipe and a sneaky weight reduction
I have heard a lot of negative reviews of the new recipe and I agree with all of them. The final straw was the sneaky change in packaging with a weight reduction from 650 grams to 500 grams and still at the inflated price of $7. That works out to a more than 20% price hike. They may have gotten away with it had they kept the old recipe, which was the best I’ve ever found, but to gouge the price and reduce the quality to that of a plain wrap gluten free offering is too much.

Just had a thought, did Burgen kill their gluten free range to give a boost to coles/woolworths gluten free range? Interesting to know who bakes the generic range for them.

new GF recipe is very disappointing
Hi team at Burgen,
You got the new GF bread recipe totally wrong, the bread falling apart, the taste is not there . I used to enjoy the more dense structure and it was possible to eat without toasting
Can you please bring back your previous recipe
cheers
Nina

What have they done? The New is awful!
I have been coeliac for more than 25 years and their ‘new’ recipe is as bad as the bread I was eating 25 years ago!
It’s fry, crumbly and falls apart, not even toasting saves it.
I used to love making a sandwich out of the old recipe bread, it was fab and worth the $ compared to other breads, it was moist and held up well. Even my husband who doesn’t need to eat gf would eat it.
But now I refuse to pay $7 for a dry crumbly loaf that disintegrates before you get to use it. Change it back Burgen, this was not a good decision!

Don't like the new recipe
The new sunflower and chia is too dry and crumbles to pieces before you use it, very disappointing as the old one was very good and lasted a long time in the fridge. Can you please bring the old recipe back.

AWFUL new recipe.
I’m very very disappointed. The old recipe was special in its uniqueness and worth spending $7 on. I have been buying it for many years and bypassing all others. I travelled remote parts of Australia with it frozen in my motorhome. This new one is just like all the others. I won’t be buying it again. I’ll be spending my money elsewhere.

New recipe
New gluten free bread recipe is a big disappointment. It is dry, too porous, lacking density and fell apart although having a best before date of several days. Please reinstate previous recipe asap.

New Coke moment?
Burgen Sunflower and Chia GF bread - new recipe. It is complete rubbish and costs 25% more to taste like cardboard. Need to sack the market research department because it now costs more to taste like dry crumbly thin rubbish. I used to love this stuff despite the occasional niggle prying its sticky slices apart. No more.. Shame the others are mostly similar texture dry crap also.

Just found a great alternative $2.50 cheaper that tastes almost as good as the previous recipe. Select free from gluten seeds and grain bread.. Try it and you will agree.

Burger Gluten Free breads are not on supermarket shelves. I particularly like the Sunflower and Chia bread and Burgen GF bread is the best quality on the market. Is it no longer in production.

Hi Louisa,
Thankfully, the people at Burgen have come to their senses and are producing the 650 gram version again. The 500 gram version, in its attempt to be healthy, made the loaf dry and tasteless.
Woolworths at my local Greystanes and Pemulway generally do stock the Burgen Sunflower & Chia most of the time. When I see them on the shelf, I buy at least 3 loaves. I then put them in the freezer in lots of two slices per plastic sandwich bag.
I fear that many supermarkets don’t stock your bread and therefore have no sales and therefore don’t ask to stock. An unfortunate cycle. All you can do is ring your local supermarket and make a request.

Why are Woolworths not selling gluten free burgen sunflower and chia seed bread. Very disappointed that I can’t buy it anymore from my local Woolworths. Was my favourite bread

Why can’t I buy Burgen gluten free sunflower and chia seed bread anywhere now. It was the nicest bread around until a few months ago, when the recipe seemed to change. I have tried several other gf breads now that I can’t get the Burgen bread, and I hate them all!! So I am in a bind.. I can’t have gluten, and now I am just not enjoying my bread at all. The original recipe was moist and delicious and tasted like homemade
Bread. Please bring it back.

Much better (than the early 2022 recipe) but not as moist as the 2018 version. I have contacted the manufacturer and they say that the late 2022 re-introduction is the same recipe and method as the o... Read more
ld 2018 version but the end result is a little disappointing. Something has changed to make the new version drier. We know that something has definitely changed as the bread is a lighter colour than the 2018 version. Still reasonably good but the high price makes it expensive for what you get. It would be so good if they just did what they did in 2018.
