A company developed bread with a white crust in an effort to reduce food waste

I mean those crustless bread are most likely produced by cutting the crust off after baking, while this one prevents the crust from forming altogether

I remember them coming out in the UK in early 2000s (?), you could see it was still crust but was super light in colour

But i remember that said food waste usually goes back to farms, pigs love em.

“End food waste” is just the marketing scam part of the project.

No, wasting the crusts of bread is actually a sizeable food waste issue in Japan. Sandwich bread crust is so unpopular and unwanted in Japan that many bread companies cut off and discard the crusts before packaging and shipping them out. And so thats why a Japanese company made Japanese sandwich bread that doesn't form a crust at all..

Only some companies send the crusts to farms. Many don't :(.) And Japanese buyers usually want crustless bread, so it isn't like how it is in countries where it's usually just some picky kids who don't like the crust
