Bürgen Soy-Lin

Got this as a substitute from Woolworths delivery and I don't think I've tasted a worse bread. Somehow both soggy and dry. The aftertaste lasts for hours. Lots of emulsifiers. Show details

New recipe is dry and loaded with carbs – If you compare the “before” macros for this bread vs the “new” recipe, you’ll notice the carbs are significantly higher. Not all of you may be into macro counting but it might be worthwhile knowing that you’re getting more carbs in each slice vs the old recipe. The new bread is dry and tasteless as well. Thumbs down from me. Show details

Why is Burgen GF bread no longer available? – I thought the Burgen GF Sunflower/Chia seed bread the best GF bread on the market. Have had a number of loaves frozen in my freezer so perhaps I’ve missed the new recipe while using up those. But please can we have the old bread back and available again - so good and nothing else competes. Why has it been taken off the market? Show details
Yummy – First time I've had this bread and it was only because my sister in law gave it to me. I'm glad she did. It is absolutely yummy yum yum...Thank you for this product.....God bless.
Best bread – Moist yummy high protein bread that doesn’t require butter to give it taste. Confused by reviews of uneven slices/ mould as have purchased this bread continuously over the last 8 years and have never seen this . Perhaps down to the storage principles of some supermarkets?

Recipe changed for the worse – I also thought I had picked up the wrong bread. The new recipe is not as dense, heavy or satisfying as the previous one. I used to love this bread, but won't be buying it anymore. Show details
Surprising change – When I was told that I was on the borderline of becoming pre diabetic, I did a lot of research to confirm the best products to be the base of my diet. Soy Lin was a product that I confirmed as low gi and I loved the texture and taste. I noticed the change immediately. It’s colour, texture, density, taste... I thought I’d picked up the wrong bread … Read more
then I must have confused it with a new different product. I’d love to know why this change was deemed necessary. I really miss the soy Lin I loved. My low rating reflects my disappointment.
'Burgest Mistake' – ".I see that we are not the only ones that have had a gut full of the 'new' Burgen Soy Lin recipe. They have managed to make it almost inedible. It is now dry and tastes stale even when 'fresh'. We have been loyal consumers for many many years. But we can't continue to buy just on fond memories. It's a sad day in the bread isle..."

It’s ok. It’s not nearly as nice as Vogels bread from NZ, it’s a little rubbery and the seeds are a little bitter, but overall it’s light, toasts well and is tasty enough Show details
Love it – Burgen Soy-Lin bread has become my go-to bread, even as a white bread lover. I love the flavour and wholesome moist texture. With its nutrient-rich slices the Soy-Lin bread has become a staple in my kitchen and is a guilt free indulgence keeps me on track toward my health goals. Show details · 1
Was great ... now awful tasting – I have bought this bread for the last 5 years and loved it ... now they have changed the recipe and I won't be buying it again. I don't know if they are trying to cut costs because of price pressure from the supermarkets but the bread is completely different in texture and taste. It has lost its competitive advantage completely .... disappoint ing for the faithful consumer. Show details
Changed the recipe! – It used to be the only packaged bread I would buy but now they have changed the recipe and it is dry, doesn't make nice sandwiches any more & goes mouldy within a couple of days stored in the fridge. Why did they change it??! Show details

goes mouldy within 3 days – I have brought this bread for years and had no problem up until the last 6months .Thinking of not buying it anymore, as it goes mouldy in 3 days even if I put it in the fridge. Show details
New recipe is disgusting – I have been buying this product for quite a few years and even though the price tag was expensive the taste was exceptional. Well not any more the new recipe is disgusting the bread is dry and tasteless, I won’t be buying this again!! Show details
So disappointed – I’m so disappointed in the new recipe. It’s dry, crumbly and tasteless, a complete contrast with the old recipe which was moist and delicious. I will not be buying this brand again unless they revert to the old tried and tested recipe. Burgen, what were you thinking? Show details
New recipe is terrible – Very disappointed. Used to be my favourite GF bread. Now a terrible, crumbly dry mess. The new recipe even comes with a sealed plastic bag inside the traditional bag - but still it is disintegrates upon opening. Can't believe they thought this recipe was an improvement. No longer recommend Show details
The worst recipe change ever – So sad. Why would you do this? Previously SO GOOD. now SO BAD. dry crumby and wasteful packaging.... After a brief joyous delight in wonderful GF produce we are back to second rate dusty cardboard.. Show details
gluten free terrible recipie change – Used to be the best gluten free bread on the market...what happened? I suspect the reason for the changed packaging...extra plastic wrap is an attempt to overcome the dry crumbly new recipie
Previous recipe for Burgen GF bread best on the market. Now horrible – Please go back to old recipe immediately for GF Burgen bread. It was fantastic. We loved the sunflower and chia as well as the linseed. Moist, seedy, tasty,delicious. Best on market. We bought 8 loaves per week. None now. We are So disappointed Burgen. Also packaging wasteful.

Gluten free ...new recipe – The previous GF recipe..in all lines was fantastic..moist and delicious and the best on the market. The new recipe is in my opinion inferior, it is dry and unpalatable, and so I will no longer be buying from your GF range. Show details

Worst new recipe ever!! – Your gf bread used to be the best out there! Amazing fresh or toasted! Just tried the new recipe and it was terrible it tasted like cardboard. So disappointed! Not to mention it is now wrapped unnecessarily in double the amount of plastic packaging!!! Go back to the old recipe
New recipe is no good – I don’t understand why you changed your gluten free bread recipe. The old recipe was amazing and you could eat it fresh and always beautiful and moist. The new recipe is dry and can only be eaten toasted and just like all the other breads on the market. Why change a good thing.
New recipe AWFUL – Have eaten Burgen gluten free bread since it first came into Coles many years ago. Always liked it & never tried another brand. This new recipe is awful. The bread is dry and it fell apart taking it out . Lost half a loaf & it tasted stale. Will have to try other brands. Never again unless we go back to the old recipe.
Why oh why did they change it? – Burgen Soy-Lin gluten free used to make me happy. Good gluten free breads are so hard to find. And now this one is one of the worst. Dry and crumbly, holes all through it. I will never buy this again. I’m so sad :( Show details
New Recipe a Disappointment – Burgen gluten free bread was the only edible product of its kind. New recipe is crumbly and tasteless. Why change a great recipe? I won't be buying it again - a huge disappointment! Show details
The bad old days – Years ago Gluten free bread was like eating cardboard and the only way it could be resurrected to edible matter was to stick it in the toaster - the bad old days. Then finally Gluten free bread became glorious. How disappointing that Bürgen Bread has reverted back to the bad old days. I will never buy this bread again. Show details
Terrible new recipe – The old recipe was my favourite bread. The new recipe is terrible - dry and poor flavour (maybe too much sugar?) Anyway now I have to find a replacement brand so am very disappointed Show details
Very disappointed – I had been enjoying Burgen's gluten free soy-Lin bread in 650gm pack for ages - it was the best product on the market. This new recipe in a 500gm pack (at same price) is terrible. The bread is tasteless, dry and breaks apart when handled. For some reason it is double bagged as well which is an environmental disaster! Show details
