Burgen breadAssociated British Foods has announced that its Allied Bakeries business is investing in growing its healthy bread brand Burgen in the United Kingdom.

Burgen, developed by ABF’s Australian subsidiary George Weston Foods in 1994, was the first soy linseed bread on the Australian market, and has a substantial market share in Australia.

Associated British Foods, which also manufactures the Allinson and Kingsmill bread brands, will invest GBP 200,000 (A$305,496) in a bid to increase awareness of Burgen through a PR and marketing campaign. This is Allied Bakeries’ first UK investment in Burgen since 2007.

Allied Bakeries said that it hopes the move will allow it to capitalise on demand for “healthy” baked goods.

The company also announced the addition of Burgen Buckwheat & Poppy Seed to its range, a loaf fortified with vitamin D.

Advertisements for the new loaf, as well as Burgen’s Soya & Linseed loaf, will appear in women’s magazines and national newspaper weekend supplements from May.

    I am a regular user of Burgen Soy Lin and I have just found holes in three slices of bread when I went to make my morning toast. It is not the first time . The holes are about the size of a ten cent piece. I thought it worth a mention.
