Shopper shocked to learn commercial sourdough uses artificial flavouring
Original: I just bought some new sourdough on sale in the local shops and when I tried it, I exclaimed happily how noticeably sour
A shopper bought sourdough on sale at local shops, praised its noticeably sour taste, then learned from their wife that commercial bakers often add artificial flavourings to make sourdough taste sour. The discovery has prompted frustration and debate about how much store-bought sourdough is genuinely fermented versus artificially flavoured, and whether shoppers can trust what they are buying.
Why now: People are reacting to the surprising claim that supermarket sourdough may be artificially flavoured rather than naturally fermented.
