Household Ingredients Compared › Buns and Rolls (Singapore)
A bun is a small enriched bread roll — wheat flour, water, yeast, sugar, oil and salt, usually with added vitamins and calcium propionate to keep it soft on the shelf. Hamburger and hot-dog buns are the same dough in a different shape; wholemeal buns swap in wholemeal flour; raisin buns add dried fruit and more sugar. This page is thin: only one SG retailer ingredient section was retrieved in this pass, and the rest of the shelf is honestly listed as seen-but-not-verified rather than filled in from other markets.
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, Amazon SG, Open Food Facts (secondary). Panelled: 1 product. Seen-but-not-verified: 9 products. This is a thin page and is labelled as such — stock and formulations change, and no page claims permanent 100% completeness. In-store pack photos are the step that will close this category.

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 this bun in this pass.
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.
