GLP-1 friendly breads and pasta, by the numbers

It is a description of the Nutrition Facts, not a health claim. A product carries the GLP-1 Friendly badge only if, per labeled serving, it is an FDA-defined good source of protein (5 g or more) or fiber (2.8 g or more), and stays at or under 5 g added sugars, 2 g saturated fat (and under 10% of its calories from saturated fat), under 460 mg sodium, and 300 calories or less. The badge, and the protein and fiber numbers shown on each product page, are read from the product's own nutrition label.

The 2024 expert review on nutrition during anti-obesity medication treatment recommends more than 60 to 75 g of protein per day (up to 1.5 g per kg of body weight) to limit loss of lean mass, and 21 to 25 g of fiber per day for women and 30 to 38 g for men, with whole grains named as a fiber source. It also advises keeping saturated fat and added sugar each under 10% of calories and avoiding high-fat foods, which can worsen gastrointestinal side effects. Our thresholds follow those priorities.

The evidence is mixed, so we do not claim it. A 2023 systematic review of 25 randomized trials found no clear consensus on sourdough's effect on glucose response; a 2022 meta-analysis found a small lower post-meal rise with low to very low certainty, and European regulators have not approved any sourdough health claim. Our breads are slow-fermented because of how they taste and keep, and the badge is based on protein, fiber, sugar, fat and sodium per serving, not on fermentation.

The same clinical guidance advises people on GLP-1 medications to eat smaller, more frequent meals and to stop eating before feeling full. Every Wildgrain product ships frozen, so you bake one roll, one muffin or a few slices at a time and keep the rest in the freezer for months. That is a storage fact, not a medical benefit.

They do not meet the thresholds. A Wildgrain croissant has 9 g of saturated fat per croissant (about 29% of its calories) and a giant cookie has 15 to 17 g of added sugar per half cookie, both well above the 2 g saturated fat and 5 g added sugar limits. We publish the full Nutrition Facts on every product page so you can decide for yourself.

Not yet. The closest match is the High-Protein plan, which is built from products with at least 10 g of protein per serving. You can also build a custom box and filter any collection by the GLP-1 Friendly tag.

No. Nothing on this site treats, prevents or manages any condition or medication side effect. The badge summarizes nutrition facts against published thresholds. For individual guidance, talk to your prescriber or a registered dietitian.

Yes. The criteria, the clinical and regulatory sources behind each threshold, and every product that passes or does not pass are published in our decision record. Products that pass carry the GLP-1 Friendly badge on their product card and product page, and are gathered in the GLP-1 friendly breads and GLP-1 friendly pasta collections.
