Household Ingredients Compared › Bagels (Singapore)
A bagel is a boiled-then-baked ring of wheat dough — flour, water, yeast and salt, plus sugar in most packaged versions. The packaged bagels sold in Singapore are mostly US-style pre-sliced bagels with a long preservative and conditioner list; a sourdough bagel is a different, shorter-list product. This page keeps plain, flavoured, whole-wheat and thin bagels as separate rows, because their lists differ.
This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, with the country of manufacture as printed where a source states it.
Stores/channels checked 12 November 2026: FairPrice (web search of its product pages), Cold Storage (availability only — Cold Storage publishes no ingredient lists), Giant, Sheng Siong, Don Don Donki, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, RedMart, Lazada SG, Shopee SG, Open Food Facts (secondary), brand/retailer listings. Panelled: 6 products. Seen-but-not-verified: 7 products. This is extensive at the check date only — stock and formulations change, and no page claims permanent 100% completeness. In-store pack photos are still needed to close the SG-pack gaps.

All figures in the sortable table are as sold, per 100g or per 100ml, as printed by the source. Click a column header to sort low to high; click again for high to low. Cells marked "not stated" always sort last — a dash is missing data, not zero. No per-100g nutrition panel was verified for any bagel in this pass; the table is all not stated rather than filled from another variant.
Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.
Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sucrose, sugar, glucose syrup, maltitol) versus naturally occurring sugars (lactose in milk, fructose in fruit).
Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours.
