Sumo Salad goes for the grain in health drive

Sarah Stowe

Multigrain and soy and linseed breads are replacing food franchise Sumo Salad’s white bread toasties and long rolls in an effort to offer Australians even healthier fast food options on the go.

The healthy food franchise admits some customers may be disappointed by the change, but insists providing its overall customer base with more nutritious alternatives is more important.

Managing director of SumoSalad, Luke Baylis, said “Over the past decade there has been a definite consumer shift towards the high fibre, low GI qualities of wholemeal, seeds and grains, which are known to keep you fuller for longer. SumoSalad is simply aligning itself with the general consumer demand and we think our customers will appreciate it.”

The new multigrain and soy and linseed breads aren’t the only new varieties on the horizon, with plans to add quinoa rolls and introduce flavours new to the fresh fast food environment.

SumoSalad is also offering half size items such as long rolls and wraps.

SumoSaladÕs soy and linseed long rolls will be available with fillings like Pastrami; Chicken & Walnut; and Pear, Brie & Rocket while its new multigrain toasties fillings include Chicken & Avocado and Tomato & Bocconcini.
