What You Should Know

You’d spot this box in the crackers or organic snack aisle, often pulled out for a cheese board at a weekend brunch or tucked into a picnic bag. The vibe is simple and wholesome—light, crisp crackers that evoke tea-time or pared-back entertaining. The ingredient list and texture (baked from refined/enriched flour with added palm oil and salt) point to industrial processing for shelf-stability and uniform crunch, consistent with a processed (NOVA 3) product rather than a highly formulated ultra‑processed food.
