Here in the states, I don't much look at the FRONT of the packaging of bread, since that's just all marketing. I look at the list of ingredients on the back. What I look for is that the first ingredient is "100% whole grain wheat" and there isn't an ingredient later on that says only "wheat flour" or "enriched white flour." Basically, I try to avoid the word "flour" in the ingredients.0

I think wholemeal is just what us british/euro people call wholegrain. Any types of bread etc with grain in is usually called "seedy" bread.0

Its the same thing. Its just another British / American terminology difference.0
