Why some bad reviews?
This is my favourite wholemeal bread. Very nice texture and taste so good. I just don't understand why the bad reviews...last week I went to Woolies to buy a loaf of wholemeal bread but Lawson's Traditional Bread Wholemeal were all gone but other brands were plentiful. Seeing this clearly proves my review is believable. Luckily I was able to buy a loaf of Lawson's Wholemeal on special 2 weeks ago.
Purchased in March 2021 at Woolworths Physical store for A$4.00.

Went Mouldy in under 2 Days - I wont buy again.
Purchased on Monday and started going Mouldy the following day. I had to throw out the remaining slices Tuesday Night when the Use By Date was the following Saturday. Since the change in receipe this bread is now too sweet and gives me high Blood Sugar readings.
Purchased in December 2021 at Woolworths Physical store.

Inedible and unsustainable
We used to eat at least 2 loaves of Lawson's wholemeal bread a week. We liked the texture, taste and the fact that it was packaged in paper. The recent changes to the recipe has sweetened the bread so much that it is very unpalatable. And plastic packaging too?
We now either make our own now or eat another brand.

A good bread ruined (and plastic wrapping now - really?)
I use to love this bread, have been buying it for a long time, and would make a special trip to my local Woolworths or Coles just to buy it. But no more after they dropped the size by 50g and replaced the paper packaging with a plastic one (why now when the world is trying to move away from plastic?). The plastic definitely affects the taste of the bread. The slices seem smaller now and more dense - it just isn't the same. I get the feeling sales are going badly for all of the Lawson's bread varieties as it now seems to be on special just ab...Read more
out every week at Colesworth, something that was rare previously. The company also needs to train their shelf stackers as so often the plastic packaging was ripped and the bread just squashed onto the shelves. Anyway, I haven't bought any for several weeks and can't see myself being a regular purchaser of this product ever again.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Used to be good, thick, tasty and not wrapped in plastic
Soooo disappointed with the changes to taste, consistency, size and packaging. I used to buy this bread because of its great taste, generous slices and the fact it was wrapped in paper. Now is is quite tasteless, size is smaller but price the same and to top it of you now wrap it in plastic. Just the thing to do when we should be reducing the use of plastic, well done, will not be buying this bread anymore. Worst possible business decision made for this product. Go back to what it used to be, remember, you can only sell this bread by the grace of your customers, do not alienate them from your products.

What have you done to us Lawsons???
I am so disappointed with Lawsons; their wholemeal bread used taste great before the new recipe and packaging. It used to be one of the best I could get at Coles but now I am not going to purchase it any more as i want something that I feel is a healthier option and a step above the cheapest brands. Please go back to your original recipe and I will be only too happy to be a customer again.

What happened to this bread?
I have been purchasing Lawson's wholemeal bread ever since I first saw it in the supermarket. Over the past 6 months or so the quality of this bread has gotten worse every time I buy a loaf. The slices used to be generous in size and soft in texture, now each slice is really small, dense and verging on feeling stale. The crust is hard and nearly always burnt. I don't think I can justify paying a premium price for this bread any more. They have definitely changed something about this bread. Please bring back the old recipe.
small, burnt

Recipe changed?
We have been buying this bread since it appeared a few years ago, suddenly it has changed ! ..... It used to be thicker slices and had more substance ..... Now it is thinner and
Seems to be softer .... We will not be buying this product any more.
Why change the recipe ? ..... More profit no doubt !
Before change solid bread
Has changed and now too soft & thin

The Best
This is by far the best wholemeal bread we have ever tasted! We were introduced to this while we were on holidays and loved it! Love the packaging too. It is a bit expensive but we always buy It whenever it's on special. It is also very filling and lasts longer than other breads.
Texture, taste, packaging
Only problem is the cos

For Wholemeal Taste and Filling Bread Slices - Natural
This is one of the best Wholemeal breads you can get in Adelaide, as close as you will get to a Wholemeal Bread for most folks. Tastes great! The slices are filling...about one and a half times the width of other bread slices. We make our own wholemeal bread with Lauke Wholemeal Premix 5 Kilo Net....and we still buy the Lawson's Wholemeal quite often for convenience.
I have professional interests in Natural Health if that helps.
We prefer this bread to Noble and Helga, spreads better, tastes better AND is Naturally Risen, not chemically as is the case with square breads! Real ingredients, not fake fillers!
This bread will not keep many days which is a good thing really, not full of preservatives! Store in a suitable place to keep fresh!

A good sized wholemeal bread
This is a great bread option to take for lunch because its a much bigger size than the usual size you see in the stores, so it should be pretty filling for a work day lunch. The pack that it comes in is a bit unique because it has a sticker and can be folded over to reseal, so thats handy. But the sticker doesnt always stay put, but works most of the time. Overall this is a great tasting bread which is easy to eat just as it is or it can be toasted too. Its got a good strong wholemeal taste to it. Although its pretty good as far as taste is con...Read more
cerned, for some reason, I wasnt too impressed with it to buy it regularly. The size is great and pretty filling and makes it easy to make 1 sandwich to take to work. Can be a bit expensive, but often comes on sale in the supermarkets.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

I don't specifically know where to buy in Sale, but generally the only supermarket that sells the whole meal variety is Coles.

I live in Blackwater Central Queensland and the only place I can get Wholemeal Bread is Coles Emerald. We go to Emerald on an average of once a week. If we do not get there before lunch they have sold out. We have a Woolworths here in Blackwater and they carry the other Lawsons Breads but no Wholemeal. I have asked them to get it but for some reason they can not get it. What can you do about it?

I guess you could always try writing to Goodman Fielders who make Lawson's bread. Their conact details are located on the web at
http://www.goodmanfielder.com.au/index.php?q=node/11
You could ask them if they would be able to supply Woolworths. It may be that there is not a lot of customers who want it..
Hope this helps you Jenny.....Cryssie307 (Pam)
