Is Udi's Bread Always Frozen?

I have just bought my first loaf of Udi's bread here in San Francisco. I haven't tasted it yet--put it straight in the freezer. Most of the bread I see is frozen in the stores. Is this always the case with Udi's bread? Do people buy it frozen and then just defrost it for sandwiches?

At Mothers Market in Orange County, some of the stores put it on the shelf with the regular bread. Not even refrigerated! I leave mine in the fridge after taking it out of the freezer.

At the Whole Foods I go to, it's on a shelf along with the other Udi's baked goods--not in the freezer. :)

I get my UDI's loaves at Whole Foods and it's on the shelf, not frozen! And I leave mine right on the counter...the loaf has been there over a week before and nothing has happened to it, tastes good still!

Yep, UDI's at my Whole Foods is on the shelf, but in a separate gluten-free section. I freeze mine as soon as I get home and just pull out slices as I need them. I love Udi's bread and pizza crust!!

I'm lucky and can drive to Udi's and get a loaf that is not frozen, but at grocery stores it is always frozen. We keep a loaf in our kitchen, undefrosted and it keeps well for about a week (we've never had a loaf go uneaten that long anyway). It's the only gluten-free bread I've found that is truly edible and tasty straight out of the package.

Well, I can only get it frozen in San Francisco . . . but I ain't complaining--this stuff is amazing. I can actually make decent sandwiches. Great stuff!

I've been buying Udi bread fresh from Whole Foods but I recently found another bread that I love even more. Unfortunately I can't get it around the Dallas area so I have to order it online. The Katz Gluten Free bread/bakery line is excellent. The Challah has a sweet nuttiness and the slices are moist and fluffy. It doesn't break or crumble. I started off toasting it and tried it without toasting and was hooked. I've used it for sandwiches with the Daiya no dairy cheddar cheese shreds for grilled cheese sandwiches and with homemade chicken salad sandwiches - very yummy. Their buns and baked goods are delicious. This product really is even better than Udi... just not as convenient to buy.

Agreed - Katz is awesome! Their mini challahs and their cinnamon rugelich are so good!

I like Udi's a lot, too. I bought mine at Woodman's and it was in the frozen section next to Katz and Kinnikinick.

Hi, I, too am an Udi's fan, and live in the Bay Area. Where do you buy Udi's? I've found it at Whole Foods in San Mateo, and at Good Health in the Oceana Market in Pacifica. It's so good to have real sandwiches again...

I too can only find it frozen where I am at. THe first time I bought it I was so excited based on the reviews here. The first loaf was really good. I ate it out of the package and it made a heck of a grilled cheese. I went back and bought four more loves and I have one left in the freezer. Maybe I'ts just me or I got my bread fix out of my system, but the two loaves I have had since have not been very good except for grilled cheese. The bread has been really, really really, (O.K. I guess you get the point) dry. Noone seems to like it now. I don't think I will spend the money to buy it anymore because these loaves have been a disappointment. I guess it was good while it lasted.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
