On his Tiktok video Petroleum bridge-The nickname wonders about the small text behind the bread bags.
“I’ve never read the texts behind the bread package,” he says in his Tiktok.
Petoniirti reveals that he has recently heard from a friend that not all breads should be frozen.
– This was a whole new thing for me, Petuonirti says.
Probably the social influencer is not the only one who has been unreadable in the packaging.
Iltalehti decided to ask Fazer and Vaasan bakeries what the recommendation is behind.
Fazer Bakery Communications Director Tarja Kuusela says that a few products come from bakeries in Sweden and Latvia. They are delivered to Fazer frozen.
– We melt the bread just before distributing, and then they move to stores, Kuusela tells Iltalehti.
He clarifies that freezing aims to reduce food waste and in some situations to facilitate production planning. For freezing, it is possible to deliver the right amount of products to the stores.
Vaasan Communications Manager Anni Pyykkö notes the same:
– Our bread will not be frozen before transporting to the store, except for some of the Vaasa Christmas mousse. This is because our capacity is by no means enough for such a tough sales of this seasonal product. We need to start baking Christmas loungers well in advance and freeze them to meet the demand for Christmas, says Pyykkö.
In addition, some Vaasan Street Food products are frozen after baking to ensure security of supply. In particular, the summer season causes sales pipes.

Kuusela recalls that Fazer’s domesticity is 94 %. Bread baked in Finland is delivered to stores as fresh as possible, without freezing.
What happens if the bread is freezing contrary to the recommendation?
There is no microbiological risk in re -freezing bread products, and the product may mainly dry slightly if it is frozen again. Once frozen bread re -freezing reduces the quality of the bread, especially the taste, structure and freshness.
However, re -freezing bread does not pose a health, or microbiological risk, because bread is not an easy -to -free food.
However, according to the Frozen Regulation, the freezing must be marked “Do not freeze again after thawing”.
In addition, the Food Agency will instruct the melted products: “If the pastries are sold in part or completely melted, the products must be mentioned that they are stored frozen”.
