citric acid

Dietitian note

Citric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.

Description

Earthy, mildly nutty flavor and a slightly dense yet tender crumb; crust is soft rather than crisp. Slices remain sturdy for sandwiches, toast, and grilled cheese, browning evenly in toasters. Reviewers note consistent slice size, reliable freshness, and suitability for everyday sandwiches, though some mention occasional variability in softness overall.
