Anything wrong with store bought English Muffins?

[Anonymous]

These allegedly "limited edition" Thomas' Buttermilk English Muffins randomly caught my eye last week at Harris Teeter. Ingredient list looks fairly clean? The fat is actually buttermilk, instead of junk oil - the regular version seemed to use a junk oil. They are phenomenal. Not just the taste, the texture is absolutely perfect when toasted. Husband and kids like them with eggs or butter and jam. Anything questionable about ingredients or nutrition? Considering subbing out neighborhood bakery wheat toast for these for family breakfasts.

Is this something you really need to crowd-source? You like them, your family likes them--it's fine! Live your life!

The sodium is over 3x what it should be. I personally wouldn’t eat them, but as a very very very occasional treat.. but why not make buttermilk biscuits from scratch and freeze the dough, then bake as needed? Healthier.

It wouldn't be a daily thing, just when I make the kids eggs. I have no idea how much sodium is in the bread I buy from the bakery (wheat/seed or sourdough). Safe assumption two slices of bakery bread have 1/3 less sodium than these muffins?

If it’s a true bakery that makes their own bread from scratch, yes.

Of all those ingredients, very few have anything to do with actual food

They are perfect. It's astonishing how perfect the texture and taste is.

The buttermilk does give it a slight sourdough-esque tang. You'd assume they were sourdough.
