Is there a weight limit for bread, and what is the minimum?

Answer

Yes, a limit is set by legislation. Standard bread, bran bread, bread made with wholemeal flour, wholemeal bread and sourdough bread may be placed on the market at a minimum of 200 grams and in increments of 10 grams. The aim of the rule is to prevent consumers from being misled, to provide a nationwide standard in bread production and to reduce bread waste. Wherever bread is sold, its weight must be clearly stated so that consumers are informed correctly. If the weight is not stated or bread is sold contrary to the legislation, the matter can be reported to the competent authorities.
