The IBBA research also found that lunchtime is when most Irish people eat bread (70 per cent).
Oonagh Monaghan, Food science expert and spokesperson for the IBBA, says: "Storm Emma last year revealed what bread bakers have long known – the sliced pan continues to be a favourite part of our lives and our diet in Ireland.
"Bread is an affordable, nutritious source of food that scientific evidence shows is good to eat and can contribute to a healthy diet. The Irish Universities Nutrition Alliance (IUNA) report² on the consumption of white and wholemeal bread in Ireland, for example, concluded that white bread is a source of many important nutrients for Irish consumers with white bread contributing only 1 per cent to our daily fat and sugar intake."
