Unfortunately for Moon and Russ Thompson, Flowers Foods' technical services manager, reduced-carbohydrate bread formulations were not readily available. As a result, the company worked with ingredient suppliers on a reduced-carbohydrate formulation for more than a year, trying to understand the intricacies of the concept and ingredients used in a reduced-carbohydrate formulation. It tested formulas in the lab and then used some of its bakeries to run various formulas in a reallife production environment.

By stretching the bread rack, Flowers Foods provides a slew of bread options aimed at specific members of a family. For example, although children typically consume the company's traditional white bread, a mother may be more likely to buy a loaf of Wheat 'n Soy bread, and a father may purchase a loaf of Double Fiber bread. This coverage of the bread aisle allows the company to make three sales instead of one.
