What You Should Know

You’d spot these thin organic water crackers on the cracker/cheese aisle or tucked into a pantry for last-minute entertaining or a simple snack with cheese and spreads. They give off a tidy, wholesome pantry-staple vibe—light, neutral, and a little nostalgic for simple tea-time snacks. The ingredient list (refined/enriched flour, pressed palm oil, salt) and their crisp texture reflect industrial milling and oil extraction but lack the long list of synthetic additives typical of ultra-processed foods, pointing toward a processed rather than heavily formulated product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from refined/enriched wheat flour and extracted palm oil with only a few ingredients and no industrial additives (emulsifiers, colorings, or flavors), this fits NOVA group 3 (processed foods) — processed for shelf stability and texture but not heavily reformulated into an ultra-processed product.
