Wonder Bread, which is the OG American fortified “white bread,” is definitely available in Europe. I don’t think any of the ingredients are illegal in Europe, it’s just that it’s wholly devoid of the nutritional value imparted by proper fermentation

As a Dane I eat a lot of rye-bread, and Schwarzbrot is the best IMO.
It is also cheap, because it is very simple to make. And being simple to make, makes it high quality because there aren’t a lot of additives.
But AFAIK the cheap bread in USA is simply illegal in EU, because it uses additives that aren’t allowed here.
Anyways, yes of course you can get quality, but bread should not be expensive just because it is of proper quality, the ingredients used to make good bread are dirt cheap.

OG?
No Wonder bread is not available in Europe. At least I can’t find anywhere where it is.
And my guess is that if some specialty stores import it, it is not sold as bread but as an American specialty.
But I don’t see why anyone would import it, it’s just a generic white bread with no particular quality.

You can find affordable bread without added sugar here too but it’s less common in rural areas where ‘food deserts’ are a thing. This is why we have so many fat people. We add too much sugar to everything.
