The bread was part baked in China, sent to Australia to be finished in Australia. I didn't even know that could be done. We buy our bread from the local bakery at Brighton, baked fresh each day, and you can see into where they bake, ..... by an Asian family. And we love them. Bob

We buy our bread from Bakers Delight. Much better than that 1/2 Chinese crap. One of my female workmates used to work in the bakery dept of a large supermarket and she said that in no way would she eat the stuff.

Seem Woolies don't make it on the premises they bake it. I read one of the Woolies fresh baked pastry bags and it said prepared by our partners and baked on the premises. They don't advertise it like Coles wrongly did

We used to have a bread maker machine. I really used to enjoy making it and the smell of it as it was cooking but never really ate any of it as I'm just not a fan of bread. Used to buy the bread mix from a local business called All About Bread.

The bread maker also made good pizza dough.

I have a bread maker, trouble was as soon as it was baked it was all gobbled up, so kept running out of bread

We buy from Baker's Delight. At least you can spread butter on it without the bread breaking apart like the Woolies product. It also stays fresher longer.

And supposedly the $2.5million fine is seen as a cost of doing business by Coles. The ACCC apparently wants the potential fines upped.

When the report said over 3 years Coles had sold over $300 million worth , that's a lot of bread . " PUN INCLUDED " Jim..
