Earlier today my friend, a mathematician, gave me a white bag with this equation on it:
SIΛ°H
What on Earth is in the bag?

$\begingroup$ @PiotrPytlik, My friend has asked me to work out the other side of the equation! $\endgroup$– Alfie GoodacreFeb 9, 2016 at 14:39

The answer is
The bag is full of bread.
Argument:
HoVIS Ltd is a British company that produces flour and bread:

The inscription "SIΛ°H" is "HoVIS" upside down.

The bag is full of:
Flour.
You were holding it upside down, it actually says "HOVIS"

It's a bag of:
Hovis bread - the "equation" is the name (EDIT: just saw it in the supermarket and see the 'o' is lower case) "HoVIS" upside down and (EDIT: perhaps) scrunched up a little.
