Specially Selected Brioche Buns are artisanal, buttery pastries made with premium ingredients like whole eggs, wheat flour, and natural flavors, offering a soft, flaky texture perfect for sandwiches or as a snack.
The nutrition facts reveal that each bun provides 160 calories, moderate saturated fat (1 gram), zero trans fat, and a notable amount of added sugars (6 grams). While the sodium content (240 mg) is not excessively high, it contributes to overall dietary intake. The product contains natural flavoring and beta carotene, indicating some processing to enhance appeal.
Given the ingredients, this product falls under ultra-processed due to the presence of artificial color, added sugars, and emulsifiers, which alter the bun's texture and taste beyond minimally processed standards.
As a processed food with added sugars and sodium, a healthier alternative would be whole-grain or sourdough buns that offer similar benefits without the added sugar and higher sodium content.
