Nature’s Own Just Hired John Cena As Their “Breaducator”
It's part of the brand's new focus on fewer, non-GMO ingredients.
Nature's Own, America's best-selling loaf bread brand, is known for its fresh taste, soft texture and wide selection. The brand offers everything from sliced sandwich bread to brioche buns, and its products are available in stores nationwide. (We're guessing you've enjoyed a PB&J sandwich or cheeseburger on a Nature's Own product at least once.)
Now, Nature's Own is rolling out a refreshed product portfolio with fewer ingredients, reflecting its commitment to "Real. Soft. Bread." The updated recipes contain up to 38% fewer ingredients, and the entire product line is verified by the Non-GMO Project. The brand has also updated its packaging to make ingredient lists and nutrition information easier to find.
But the best part? Nature's Own has hired actor and wrestler John Cena to "breaducate" customers about the updates. "Our brand embodies real, simple goodness, and John Cena is the perfect partner to bring that message to life," said Krystle Farlow, a Nature's Own executive. "He's authentic, entertaining and loved by families. We couldn't ask for a better Breaducator to tell our simpler, Non-GMO Project Verified story."
From school lunches to quick breakfasts, sandwich bread is a staple in many American households. With more parents seeking products made with simpler ingredients and no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives, Nature's Own aims to meet that demand. The brand refresh is designed to "shake up the bread category, drive momentum, and meet consumers where they are," Farlow said. After all, 80% of parents* say simpler ingredients make them more comfortable serving bread at multiple meals throughout the day.
As the Breaducator, John Cena is responsible for showing shoppers what sets these new recipes apart — simpler, non-GMO ingredients with the taste and texture customers expect. "Nature's Own is bread done right," said Cena in a press release. "Time to show people what's in their loaf. Time to breaducate."
