They add broad bean flour just to get an A, otherwise they would get a C or D. There is no real reason for broad bean flour being present in a loaf of bread, except for faking a better NutriScore.
That probably increases the fiber and/or the protein content, which actually does make the bread healthier. I’m not saying that the formula is perfect and they are changing values around to make it better. But the system is so simple that the only way to game it is to actually make your products better.
The problem is that broad bean flour was primarily chosen because it is cheap and overrated. The latter will be corrected in the next set of rules, so there is actually no more reason to add it to plain white toast. So either the companies find another loophole/wrongly rated ingredient, or the plain white will drop from A to C or D where it belongs as a highly processed and not exacly healthy food.
