The leader on each nutrient
There is no single healthiest bread product in the data: each nutrient has its own leader, per 100 g (in single-serve aisles, "most" rankings go by the serving as sold). Each row opens its full ranking.

| Least sugar | Simply Seed Flatbreads Pumpkin Seed (Olina's Bakehouse)One of 1,024 products at this value; the tie is broken by more protein. | 0 g per 100 g |
| Least sodium | Classic Unsalted Melba Toast (Devonsheer) | 0 mg per 100 g |
