Spanish law reform tightens bread definitions
A new law came into force in Spain on 1 July 2019 that restricts the classifications of «wholemeal», «sourdough», «artisanal» and «multicereal» bread.
Royal Decree 308/2019 - popularly known as the «bread law», which was passed in April - aims to create a framework of quality regarding the production of bread, adapting the regulations to the current demands of the market and giving greater security to the consumer by addressing the definitions of bread according to its ingredients.
